About this work

This drawing shows a big triangle made of zigzag lines. The lines are bright colors—orange, yellow, green, and purple. The shapes look like blocks stacked up, but they’re just drawn with crayons and pencil. The paper has grid lines in the background. The artist used only crayons and pencil, no paint. The colors fade a little where the crayon was pressed hard. Look up Joe Tilson next—he made this in 1966.
