About this work

This print shows a dark, textured background filled with small dots and lines, like a night sky. In the center and right side, there are six woven-looking shapes—some look like boats or baskets, others like abstract forms with curved lines. A few thin, angled lines cross the top, like arrows or rays. The artist used a single print method, so every mark is unique. The shapes feel both simple and a little mysterious, like they could be tools or dreams. Look up Harry Bertoia to see how he turned metal into music—and then into art.
