About this work

This image shows a black-and-white pattern of jagged, interlocking shapes. The lines form a puzzle-like design with lots of empty spaces between them. The background is plain white, and the black ink stands out sharply. The artist used a printing method that lets them repeat the same design many times. The small numbers in the corner mean this is one of 100 prints made from the same plate. Look up lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
