About this work

This image shows a simple gray square with a 3D-looking box drawn inside it. The word "BOX" is printed in bold letters on the front of the box, with a small "07" after it. The whole thing looks flat, like a drawing or a print, with no color or extra details. The box is drawn to look like it’s receding into space, even though it’s just lines on a flat surface. The artist made it seem almost empty, with just those words and shapes. If you like this kind of simple, geometric art, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The story of this work

Overview

A square, single-piece box with lid and base is constructed from grey card, folded and stapled together. The lid bears the title printed in pale grey, reversed out, while the base features the East London Printmakers logo in purple-grey, also reversed.
