6 works

A textured artwork featuring an array of abstract, embossed shapes on a cream-colored paper. The shapes are irregular and interlocking, creating a subtle, raised pattern across the surface. The bottom left corner has a handwritten inscription, and the bottom right corner contains the artist's signature and the year.
Artistic representation of a brain made with overlapping red circles of various sizes on a white background.
A framed artwork featuring a vertical, abstract composition with streaks of blue and white resembling dripping or melting ice against a black background, surrounded by a wide white border with artist's markings at the bottom.
A detailed black and white illustration with intricate patterns and figures, featuring a central image of a girl surrounded by various characters and objects, all rendered in a lace-like, cut-out style. The edges of the artwork are scalloped, adding to the textile-like appearance.
Photograph of tall, dense trees with the text "SEARCHING FOR GRAMSCI" in red capital letters superimposed over the image.
A close-up photograph of a section of blue denim fabric with visible texture and seams, framed in a light wooden frame with red and white cords laced through the left side, creating an artistic presentation.
