About this work

This looks like a tall, narrow piece of paper with a rough, uneven shape. The top half is a dirty yellow-brown, almost like stained paper or old fabric. The bottom half is a lighter, cream color with faint, smudged lines running through it. The texture feels raw—like something worn or aged. It’s not polished or pretty, just raw materials stuck together. Check out pastel next to see how artists use soft, blendable sticks of color.
