About this work

This is a single red circle with a stem on top, like a big apple. Inside, there’s a faint, blurry image of a face or shape—it’s hard to tell what it is. The colors are just different shades of red and brown, with no other colors in sight. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit in grooves, creating that soft, slightly fuzzy look. It’s not a painting but a print, made by pressing paper onto a metal plate. Look up etching to see how this kind of printmaking works.
