About this work

This drawing looks like a loose, sketchy mess—but that’s the point. You see tangled lines and blobs that might be people or animals, but nothing is clear. Some shapes float in the air, others lean like they’re falling. The lines are scratchy, almost like they were drawn fast with a sharp tool. The whole thing feels like a quick, messy thought turned into art. The artist used a technique where lines are carved into a plate instead of painted—it’s called *drypoint*.
