About this work

This print is mostly dark blue with glowing yellow-green lines and shapes. You see what looks like a city skyline with buildings, but it’s all tangled and hard to read. The lines twist and overlap, making it feel busy and chaotic. The artist used sharp tools to scratch into the metal plate before printing. This left the raised lines glowing against the dark background. Look up etching to see how this technique works.
