About this work

This drawing looks like a mix of rough sketches and bold lines. There are four small sheets of paper glued onto a blue background. Some shapes look like furniture, others like abstract designs. A few squares have small red lines inside. The lines are mostly black, with some colored pencil touches. The artist played with overlapping shapes and angles. Some parts look like they’re falling apart or being pulled apart. The paper feels crumpled and uneven. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
