About this work

This image shows a round drawing of swirling lines and shapes on old book pages. In the center sits a tall, shiny metal cylinder with a painted design on it. The edges of the paper are torn and uneven, like it’s been cut from a larger sheet. The artist used real encyclopedia pages as the background, giving the work a rough, layered look. The cylinder in the middle reflects light, adding a strange, modern touch. Next, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
