About this work

This image shows a long, narrow scroll of letters and words printed in a grid. The letters are arranged in rows, some overlapping or stacked, creating a messy, uneven pattern. The colors are just black text on a pale, off-white background. The piece looks like it was printed all at once, with no clear start or end. It’s not a picture of anything—just letters floating in space. If you like this, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
