About this work

This print shows a group of jagged, gold shapes floating against a plain white background. The pieces look like broken metal or sharp rocks, some overlapping, others tilted at odd angles. The edges are rough and uneven, with a textured look that makes them feel heavy despite being flat. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on the surface, creating that rough, metallic texture. It’s like the shapes were cut from old, rusted metal and glued onto paper. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
