About this work

This painting is a tight zigzag pattern of brown and green lines. The shapes repeat like a woven fabric, but sharper—almost like a maze if you could walk inside it. The colors are muted, with the browns looking slightly faded, while the greens pop just enough to make the lines stand out. The artist used crayon, watercolor, and ink together, which gives it a rough, sketchy feel. The lines aren’t perfectly smooth; they wobble a little, like they were drawn by hand. If you like this kind of bold pattern, look up Mell Daniel.
