About this work

This image shows rows of small, colored squares arranged in a grid. The squares are mostly black, gray, and yellow, with a few white ones mixed in. Each row has a different pattern, like a puzzle or a code. The artist used 112 sheets of paper to create this work, filling them with simple shapes. It feels like a map or a building plan, but it’s not clear what it represents. Look up gouache to see how this soft, matte paint works.
