About this work

This drawing is a grid of simple, sketchy shapes on brown paper. There’s a boat, a ruler, a clock, a house, and random symbols like a sun, letters, and a yin-yang. Some squares have numbers or odd marks like "534" or "AZB." The lines are quick, uneven, like doodles or notes. The paper looks old and textured, almost like a notebook page. The artist signed it in the corner—just a quick scrawl. If you like this style, check out Joaquín Torres-García.
