About this work

This image shows a black square filled with thin white lines. The lines crisscross in all directions, creating shapes like circles and squares. Some lines overlap, while others fade into the background. The artist used a method where ink is scratched into a metal plate to make the lines. This creates a textured look in the final print. Look up etching to see how this technique works.
