About this work

This drawing shows four wobbly stick-figure-like shapes at the top, all facing different ways. Below them is a messy, crisscrossed web of black lines that look like waves or scribbles. In the bottom corner, there’s a tiny red stamp that says “Fun Fare Sites” and a date: ’73. The artist scribbled directly on top of what looks like a printed page—maybe a map or a grid. The messy lines feel like they’re fighting with the clean lines underneath. If you like this kind of chaotic, layered drawing, check out cross-hatching.
