About this work

This print shows two big shapes that look like eyes. They’re made of dots and lines that spread out like rays. The center of each eye is packed with tiny dots, while the outer parts have sharp, jagged edges. The whole thing is in black and white, with some areas scratched or smudged. The artist used a process where ink is pressed onto stone and then transferred to paper. This makes the lines look both smooth and rough at the same time. Look up lithography to see how this printing trick works.
