About this work

This image shows a black rectangle at the top half with wavy, uneven lines carved into it. Below it is a wide, blank white space. The lines look like they were made by hand, with rough edges and shadows. The black section is actually a woodcut print—layers of ink pressed into carved wood. The artist used multiple techniques to build up the texture. Check out lithography to see how different printmaking methods create similar effects.
