About this work

This sheet is covered in tiny ink sketches. Some boxes show neat grids filled with numbers. Others have messy lines and shapes that look like tangled webs. A few sections are crossed out with "DON’T USE" written above them. The numbers and lines seem like instructions for something bigger. One corner has a grid with overlapping curves, almost like a puzzle. The handwriting is quick and rough, like notes jotted down fast. If you like this kind of abstract drawing, check out cross-hatching.
