About this work

This drawing shows a swirling spiral of thin lines, like a maze or a target. Inside the loops, there are small, irregular shapes—some look like boats or arrows, all cut out and floating. The whole thing sits on a plain white background, and the title *"Around the House"* is scrawled in uneven letters at the bottom. The cut-out shapes make you wonder what they mean—are they symbols, or just abstract shapes? The artist used a printmaking method to create both the lines and the holes. Next, check out how etching works to see how artists carve into metal plates to make prints.
