Engraver's Tools
1974

An intricate black and white etching depicting a variety of objects including eyeglasses, a box of nails, a hammer, and other tools arranged in a surreal, perspective-challenging composition. The artwork plays with depth and shadow, creating an almost three-dimensional effect on a two-dimensional surface.
