About this work

This drawing is all black lines and scribbles on a white background. The lines are thick and tangled, filling the whole paper. At the top, there’s a single straight line with a few musical notes and a Bible quote: *"And unto us a son is given..."* The artist used only a felt-tip pen, making every mark look hand-drawn and rough. The lines swirl together, creating a busy, almost chaotic pattern. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
