About this work

This image shows rows of tangled, spiky lines packed tightly together. The marks look like sharp branches or jagged wires, all in black against a light background. The lines overlap in messy clusters, filling the whole sheet. The artist made this by scratching into a metal plate, then pressing paper onto it. The texture of the lines suggests a rough, uneven process. Look up etching to see how artists create prints this way.
