About this work

This painting is a woodcut in gold metallic ink on hand-washed orange paper. It features a grid of small squares, each with a unique pattern. The squares are arranged in a repeating sequence, creating a sense of rhythm and harmony. The use of gold ink adds a touch of luxury and sophistication to the piece. The orange paper provides a warm and inviting background that complements the gold ink nicely.
