Untitled (Ashikawa 01)

Numbered untitled works in Ashikawa's catalogue typically belong to studio sequences exploring formal questions outside the named civic-infrastructure series. As a lithograph, the print carries the autographic mark of drawing executed directly on the stone or aluminum plate — tusche brushwork, lithographic crayon, possibly transfer drawing — pulled onto a sheet at the artist's customary wall-facing scale. The '01' placement indicates the opening work in a sequenced run, likely held together by a technical or compositional question rather than a shared site or subject. Ashikawa's practice treats lithography as a medium for translating drawn observation into editioned form, and the untitled sequences often serve as the working ground for compositional ideas that later resolve into the named park or public-space prints. The work belongs to the body produced after her 2019 MFA at Musashino Art University, where her practice took shape around the combination of European planographic technique and manga-register figuration.
