This picture shows a black background covered in sharp, white zigzag lines. In the center, a rough circle has a face inside—just eyes, a nose, and a mouth drawn in simple lines. The lines outside the circle look like they’re all pointing away from it. The artist used a woodcut method, where lines are carved into wood and then inked. This piece is part of a set of five prints made in 1996. Next, check out woodcut to see how this technique works.
