418-J2
n.d.

A vertical strip of paper featuring a series of abstract, symmetrical ink drawings that resemble Rorschach inkblot tests, with each section showing a different pattern. The images appear to be hand-drawn and vary in complexity, with some resembling floral or organic shapes and others more geometric. The bottom of the strip includes a sequence of numbers and symbols.
