About this work

This print shows three tall, narrow panels side by side. The left and right panels are messy, with dark smudges and light spots that look like they were made by splattering ink. The middle panel is almost all black, with a faint circle near the top. The artist used a process where ink is rolled onto a smooth stone before pressing paper onto it. This lets them control how much ink sticks, creating these uneven marks. Try looking up lithography to see how it works.
