About this work

This image shows a series of thin, pale panels with black lines drawn on them. The lines are simple but precise—some look like arrows, others like steps or brackets. The paper has a faint grid background, and the edges of the panels are uneven, like pages torn from a notebook. The artist used a drypoint technique, which means they scratched lines into a metal plate and then printed it. This left behind delicate, slightly fuzzy marks. Look up drypoint next to see how this method works.
