About this work

One looks like a person crouching, and the other is a round, wavy form—maybe a head or a cloud.

This drawing shows two blobby, black shapes tangled together. One looks like a person crouching, and the other is a round, wavy form—maybe a head or a cloud. The lines are thick and messy, with some gray smudges around the edges.

The artist signed it "Krosigk '97," which might mean it’s from 1997. The numbers "3/100" suggest this is one of many prints made from the same design.
