About this work

This drawing looks like scribbles and smudges on paper. Thin blue and black lines zigzag across the top half, some overlapping. The bottom half has a grid of tiny squares and a few loose lines. There’s a small scrap of paper taped in the middle with a few numbers and a signature. The messy lines might look like handwriting, but they’re actually carefully planned marks. The artist used a mix of printing methods to create this piece. Check out how this piece was made with lithography.
