About this work

This image shows a simple blue line drawing on a dotted gray background. The line looks like a rough sketch of a person walking or dancing, with one arm raised. The dots fill the whole page, making the blue line stand out. The dots might look like a grid or a pattern, but they’re actually part of the printmaking process. This piece was made in 1988 using a mix of screenprinting and photolithography. Check out lithography to see how artists use stone and ink to create prints.
