About this work

This drawing shows two hands holding up what look like old movie tickets. The words on the tickets are faded but still readable—things like "Great Lakes on GREY" and "CLICK WITH." The hands are made from cut-out pieces of paper, too, giving the whole thing a collage feel. The artist used tiny bits of text and paper to build the shapes, almost like a puzzle. It’s not a real portrait or landscape—just these hands and tickets against a plain background. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists use lines to create shading.
