About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 2003 drawing by Sue Williams, created using ink on two layered sheets of synthetic polymer. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing features a dense, abstract composition of black ink lines on a white background, comprising swirling forms, dots, and shapes that evoke a sense of dynamic movement. Some elements resemble organic forms, such as birds or plants, while others appear as expressive scribbles.

Technique & Style

Williams achieved the drawing's complex visual effect by layering two sheets of plastic and drawing directly on top, resulting in varying line qualities, with some appearing sharp and others subtly blurred.
