The illusions and reflections in Sietins prints often bring M.C. Escher to mind, but his prints have a distinctive feel all their own. This print is a slight departure from the Characters series, with the characters and numbers indistinct, and the reflection of the black void being the central focus. Signed and numbered print from the edition of 35.
