About this work

This print shows a simple shape—a big letter C—cut into a grid of squares. The inside of the C is a light peach color with a rough, textured look, like crumpled paper. Outside the C, the squares are plain white, but the edges of the C’s shape spill into them in a wavy blue line, like ink bleeding. The artist used a stencil-like method to make the print, which is why the lines are so sharp and the colors so flat. The texture inside the C is the only detail that breaks the clean, geometric look.
