About this work

This print shows a dark, swirling shape that looks like a hood or cloak draped over a flat surface. The edges are rough and uneven, with thick lines that almost feel like they’re moving. The lower half has a lighter, wavy area that could be fabric or water, but it’s hard to tell. The texture is all scratchy and layered, like the artist built it up with repeated marks. It’s mostly black and white, but the light parts catch your eye. Try looking up lithography to see how prints like this are made.
