About this work

This print is mostly black with a rough, textured background. Scattered across it are four white labels that say "NON." The shapes of the labels are uneven, like they were cut out by hand. The word "NON" means "no" in Italian. The artist used simple shapes and repetition to make the image feel quiet but a little unsettling. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
