About this work

This drawing shows a single black shape—like a half-moon or a slice of something—floating against a plain light background. Inside the shape, there’s a swirl of tiny, crisscrossed lines that look almost like hair or fabric texture. The edges are smooth, and the whole thing sits centered on the page. The artist used a sharp tool to carve these lines into wood, then printed it. That’s why the texture looks so precise and slightly fuzzy at the same time. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create depth with just lines.
