About this work

This painting is all dark, tangled lines and shapes. The surface looks rough, like a mix of ink scribbles and woven wire. Some parts are thick and shadowy, while others fade into lighter gray patches. It’s framed in wood, but the edges feel uneven, almost handmade. The top half has a thin, horizontal band of glass with faint ink marks. Below it, the texture changes—more like a dense, webby mess of lines. It’s hard to tell what it’s *supposed* to be, but it doesn’t try to look like anything real. Want to know more? Check out cross-hatching.
