About this work

This painting looks like tangled black threads piled up in a rough, uneven shape. The threads twist and overlap, making a dark, messy form against a plain white background. The whole thing sits on a flat, light-colored base, like a shadow or a footprint. The artist used real threads—some thin, some thick—pressed into the print. It’s not a drawing or painting, but something built up layer by layer. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
