About this work

This artwork shows two square cutouts glued onto a blue background. Each cutout has a fuzzy black-and-white photo of a round object—maybe a face or a moon—with a bright yellow stripe at the bottom. Two red strings dangle from the squares like loose threads. The strings and cutouts feel random but intentional, like something pulled from an old notebook. The yellow stripe adds a sharp pop against the soft grayscale images. Next, check out lithography to see how artists print images with smooth, layered details.
