About this work

This print shows twelve small, inked drawings arranged in a grid. Each one is just lines—curves, zigzags, and tangled strands—all in black and white. The lines look hand-drawn, some loose and wavy, others tight and parallel. The artist focused on how lines can twist and overlap in different ways. It’s like a puzzle of shapes without any real-world objects. If you like this, check out etching to see how artists use acid and metal plates to make prints like this.
