About this work

This image shows two blue shapes floating in space, separated by a jagged line. The left shape has a rough, net-like texture, while the right one looks like a grid of squares. Tiny white marks inside each shape add a little detail. The artist used a printing method where ink is pressed onto a flat stone or metal plate. This creates the sharp lines and solid colors you see here. Check out lithography to learn how this technique works.
