About this work

This print shows a simple stack of smooth, flat stones on a white background. The rocks vary in size and shape, some stacked carefully, others resting loose. Their surfaces have faint textures, like swirls and tiny cracks, and the whole scene looks quiet and still. The artist used just a few shades of gray and white to show the stones’ shapes. The way the rocks lean and balance feels deliberate, almost like a small, temporary sculpture. Check out Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this in person.
