About this work

This image shows simple black lines on a white background. There’s a big circle, a spiral, a long slanted line, and a few short dashes. Some lines have dates like 1970, 1971, and 1972 written next to them. In the top corner, there’s a tiny photo of hills with the words *Dartmoor Walks* and *1972*. The dates and the hill photo hint this might be about walking routes or steps taken over time. The lines feel like a map or a record of movement, but it’s all abstract—no real place, just shapes. If you like this, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
