About this work

This sketch shows a messy web of names and lines connecting them. Some names are circled, others are just dots or blobs. The lines crisscross everywhere, making it hard to follow one path. At the bottom, there’s a short note in messy handwriting: *"Astra-Bmrc-Unwin London c. 1983-90 'deals in military pyrotechnics.'"* The drawing looks like a way to map out complicated connections—maybe between people or companies. The handwriting is quick and rough, like notes scribbled fast. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching.
