About this work

This drawing shows a circle of tangled, shadowy shapes that look like boats or birds caught in motion. The lines are loose and wobbly, as if the artist sketched fast or left some strokes unfinished. Dark patches fill the forms, making them feel heavy and unstable. The title here is *Quasi-gyroscope*, which hints at something spinning or off-balance. The date "3/2/35" is scrawled in the corner, matching the year it was made. Next, check out how this work was made using lithography.
