Publisher

A large, irregularly shaped piece of brown cardboard is placed against a textured, beige fabric backdrop. The torn edges of the cardboard suggest an outline reminiscent of a landscape or shoreline. Printed lines of text and numbers are within the cardboard, arranged orderly. The texture and color of the cardboard contrast with the fabric's pattern, blurring the distinction between familiar objects and abstract art.
