This print shows two giant, textured spheres sitting on a flat, striped ground. The spheres look like they’re made of tiny, tangled lines—almost like fur or rough fabric. Between them is a small, dark opening that looks like a tunnel or a cave. The artist used a sharp, scratchy tool to carve these lines into the metal plate, then printed it. The result feels rough and uneven, like you could almost reach in and touch the surfaces. If you like this style, look up drypoint next.
