About this work

This looks like a messy, handwritten page with black ink on white. The words are scribbled in uneven lines, some overlapping. The paper has small holes in the corners and looks crumpled. There’s no clear image—just text, some circles, and a few doodle-like marks. The artist wrote about how art changes based on the moment it’s made. This piece feels like a sketch of those ideas, not a polished work. Look up gouache next to see how this paint works.
