About this work

You see a sheet of pale green paper covered in tight, scribbled lines—some thick, some thin, all overlapping like a tangled nest. This isn’t just doodling. Morris made it in 1961, right when artists were asking: *What counts as art?* Here, a simple act—inking lines—becomes the whole point. No image, no story, just the raw act of making. If you like this, look up the technique called cross-hatching.
