About this work

This drawing is all black lines on a light background. The lines make a zigzag pattern that repeats across the whole page. Some lines are thick, some are thin, but they all look carefully placed. The lines create a kind of maze or grid that pulls your eyes around. It’s simple but feels busy up close. Want to see more work like this? Look up Lygia Pape.
