About this work

This is a pale green sheet of paper with almost nothing on it. In the top half, there’s a single, loose black line—kind of like a squiggle or a broken oval. The line is thin and uneven, as if drawn quickly. In the bottom right corner, someone wrote the name *"Hefferton"* in small, handwritten letters. The paper looks like it was made in a hurry, maybe even copied by hand. It’s part of a set of five similar sheets, all simple and spare. If you like this kind of minimal art, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more examples.
