About this work

This is a grid of black marks on a light background. The top reads "Trio for Ladder, Mud and Pebbles," with seconds marked across the top. Each row lists actions like "mud—slap," "ladder—drop," or "pebbles—roll," with small lines and dots showing when and how long each action happens. The whole thing looks like a score, but not for music—it’s instructions for sounds and movements. The dots and lines feel like a puzzle, mapping out time and action in a simple, strict way. Check out cross-hatching next to see how artists use lines to create texture.
