About this work
Pigadioti-Tzima uses cross-hatching and stains to make the paper feel worn.
This drawing shows tangled lines and rough shapes in browns and blacks. It looks messy at first, but the marks follow a slow rhythm. The artist stacks thin layers to show time passing, like rings in a tree.
Pigadioti-Tzima uses cross-hatching and stains to make the paper feel worn. She scratches the surface with tools, then drags ink or dust across it. The marks don’t tell a story—they just sit there, heavy with age.
