This print shows a big, tangled wire shape in the middle of a pale background. The wires form sharp triangles and crisscross in all directions. Light colors—like soft beige and gray—fill the spaces between them. The edges of the whole thing look a little fuzzy, like it was drawn by hand. The artist used thin lines to make the shape look both solid and wobbly at once. It’s hard to tell what it’s supposed to be, but it feels like it’s floating. Next, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
