About this work

This print shows two halves split by a clean black line. The top half is a glowing, tangled ball of rusty-orange lines against a dark background. The bottom half is a web of thin, gray branches spreading across a lighter gray sky. The top looks like a fiery sun or a burst of light, while the bottom feels like roots or a stormy forest floor. The lines in both sections twist and overlap, almost like they’re fighting each other. This piece uses etching and aquatint—try looking up how those techniques create such sharp, layered textures.
