About this work

This painting is made with ink on two sheets of transparent paper. It's simple, with lines and shapes. The artist used this style to create a unique piece, and what's interesting is that Meredith Monk is also a musician and composer, which might have influenced her visual art. She experimented with different materials and techniques. Her work is pretty unusual for its time. To learn more about similar art, look up the technique: cross-hatching.
