About this work

This print shows a simple, repeating pattern of white lines on a gray background, like rows of stacked arches. Below, a rough, textured band hides what looks like a door or window, with faint shapes inside. The whole thing feels slightly smudged, like it was made by stamping. The messy texture comes from the screenprint process—ink pushed through a screen to create the image. It’s not polished, but that’s the point. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this in person.
