About this work

This print is mostly black and white with a single purple strip near the bottom. A big black circle sits in the top right corner. Below it, a smaller black rectangle has jagged edges and a thin white line inside. The artist used screenprinting, which lets them layer ink through a stencil. The torn-paper look is added by hand. Look up lithography next to see how it differs from screenprinting.
