Involute 1973

Paula Litzky's "Involute" from 1993, in shades of black and grey, feels like the result of a focused yet intuitive exploration. The artwork's title suggests a spiraling, turning form, and indeed, the composition evokes movement and complexity. I imagine Litzky, bent over her printing plate, coaxing these intricate lines and shapes into being. What was she thinking as she worked? Was she mapping a mental space, a feeling, or a philosophical concept? There's a dance between precision and chance here. Look at how some lines are sharp and defined, while others fade, creating a sense of depth. Each gesture feels deliberate, a careful building up of layers that creates both tension and harmony. It makes me think of other artists who work in series, building up a visual language over time. Ultimately, this print is part of a broader conversation about abstraction, form, and the potential for art to provoke thought. It's a reminder that art is less about answers and more about the questions it inspires.
