small and sweeping charcoal etchings splay out across a canvass amidst straight pink lines
Black marks varying in thickness, definition and linearity populate a white background; dense at center, sparse at edges.
a dense collection of fine and smudged grey arching lines
A monochromatic artwork featuring an array of abstract, feather-like strokes concentrated in the center of the paper, with some strokes scattered towards the edges. The piece is signed and dated in the lower right corner, with an edition number on the lower left. The background is plain white, highlighting the texture of the strokes.
