About this work

This print shows a bare tree with tangled branches against a plain background. The lines are rough and scratchy, like quick sketches piled on top of each other. Small twigs and leaves litter the ground, drawn in the same loose, hurried style. The artist used a technique where ink is scraped into a metal plate to create texture. This makes the lines look uneven and slightly fuzzy, almost like a sketch that wasn’t smoothed out. Try looking up etching to see how this process works.
