Physical Object Description:

A green lithographic print with a series of 'sketched' overlapping orb forms. The lines appear to have been scratched into the green surface with many colours are visible in the fine lines of each orb. This overprinting effect, plus the play of complementary colours (especially red and green) creates an optical illusion and does not provide a reference point for the eye to focus upon.
