About this work

This print is all sharp black lines and dots on a dark background. There’s a big square in the middle with a repeating diamond pattern, surrounded by thick vertical lines. The edges are messy, like splattered ink or rough brushstrokes. The title says it’s a woodcut, which means the artist carved the design into wood and pressed ink onto it—no smooth brushes here. Look up woodcut to see how this process works.
