Visual Description of Artwork
A wicker chair sits centrally on a field of rectangular dots drawn with a pen with interchangeable tips. The lines change depending on which pen tip is being used. A diagonally woven rattan pattern can be seen on the back of the chair. A horizontal and vertical weave makes up the round seat area. The armrests and chair legs are drawn with curved and straight lines giving the illusion of roundness and depth. There are dotted lines of square dots that follow the chair’s form. The lines are drawn concentrically until they go off the page.
