About this work

This print is all black shapes on a gray background. The shapes look like squiggles and dots, some stacked, some overlapping. At the very bottom, there’s a thin stripe of bright colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue—smeared together. The artist made this by pressing ink onto a stone, then running paper through it. The colors at the bottom feel random, like they were added after the rest. Look up lithography to see how this printing trick works.
