About this work

This piece looks like a grid of four light-beige panels framed in deep red. Inside each panel, there are loose, orange-brown lines and shapes—some like arrows, others just scribbles. Tiny dots and circles are scattered across, some punched out to make holes. The edges of the red border have faint, swirly patterns too. The artist used a mix of printing and cutting—lines look etched or drawn, while the dots might be punched paper glued on. It feels messy but controlled, like someone was playing with different ways to make marks. If you like this, look up lithography to see how it works.
