About this work

You see a tangle of black lines on white paper—some thick, some thin, some jagged, some smooth. Moses made this in 1968 at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles. That year, lithography was still a fresh way for artists to play with ink and stone. The lines look like they were drawn fast, but each one is actually pressed from a flat stone. The speed is an illusion. If you like how ink can feel alive, look up lithography.
