About this work

This image is a busy, colorful collage of names and scribbles. Bold letters like EVE, DEBORAH, and JEZEBEL stand out in bright colors—reds, blues, and yellows—while smaller, messy handwriting fills the rest. Some names are crossed out or smudged, and the background looks like a mix of paint and ink. The names all seem to be women, some with short notes next to them. The mix of neat and messy writing makes it feel like a quick, personal list. Next, look up lithography to see how this printmaking technique works.
