About this work

This print shows two tall, narrow shapes against a light background. The lines are fuzzy at the edges, blending into soft grays and whites. It looks like light passing through something, but it’s not clear what. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on a flat stone instead of brushes. That’s why the lines feel smooth but a little uneven. Check out lithography to see how this technique works.
