About this work

This image shows a crumpled, blue object that looks like a wadded-up piece of paper or metal. The shape is messy, with sharp folds and creases, and parts of it are stained or marked with black and white streaks. Some text is barely visible, like "FILTHO" and "SUNLIGHT." The artist used a printing method that lets colors blend unevenly, giving it a rough, textured look. It’s not a drawing or a painting—it’s a printed image, but it feels like a sculpture squashed flat. Look up lithography to see how this kind of printmaking works.
