This piece is a wall of tiny circles stuck together. Each circle has a number written in ink. The colors are mostly cream and gray, with a soft, dusty look. Some circles overlap slightly, like a messy collage. The artist used talcum powder to make the background look fuzzy. It’s not a painting—it’s paper, ink, and glue. The numbers might be random or mean something, but it’s hard to tell. Check out Howardena Pindell to see more of her work.
