About this work

This drawing is full of scattered, simple black lines on a light background. You see fragments of people—some standing, some sitting, some just heads or limbs. There’s a dress, a snake, a bird, and a few small figures that look like they’re dancing or crawling. The lines are loose and quick, like sketches tossed onto the page. The artist used a screenprint, which means the image was pressed through a stencil. That’s why the lines look uniform but still feel hand-drawn. The mix of figures and objects creates a busy, almost chaotic scene. Next, look up Nancy Spero to see how her work plays with words and images.
