About this work

This image shows two squares of paper filled with tight, repeating lines. Each square has a single diagonal line cutting through it—one slants left to right, the other right to left. The lines are all the same grayish color, making the paper look textured and busy. The diagonal lines stand out because they’re the only ones that break the pattern. They’re simple but bold, drawing your eye across the page. If you like this kind of clean, minimal look, check out cross-hatching.
