About this work

This looks like a long, narrow sheet of paper covered in faint writing and smudges. The words are barely legible, mixed with dark charcoal marks that blur together. Some spots are lighter, like erased lines, while others are thick and shadowy. It feels messy, almost like someone scribbled notes while thinking. The paper itself is unusual—it’s the kind used for old player pianos, with holes along the edges. The artist used that texture to make the work feel both fragile and heavy. Look up Jason Moran to see how he turns everyday materials into art.
