About this work

This is a blank white sheet of paper with faint, barely visible ink lines. The lines are thin and evenly spaced, forming a grid. Some words like "HYDRO," "CONCRETE," and "BEAT" are printed in tiny ink at the edges. The grid and words are so light you might miss them at first glance. This work is all about what’s *not* there—no color, no big shapes, just hints. Next, look up Robert Barry to see how he turned emptiness into art.
