About this work

This painting looks like a patchwork of tiny, overlapping maps or blueprints. The shapes are irregular, some crumpled or folded, with faint lines and grids showing through. Dark patches—maybe buildings or roads—stand out against the pale, crisscrossed background. The colors are mostly grays and whites, with a few muted blues and yellows peeking through. The way the paper is cut and taped together gives it a collage feel. The lines look like they were drawn by hand, then layered over and over. If you like this, check out cross-hatching next—it’s a drawing technique that uses lots of parallel lines to create shading.
