Life 3

*Life 3* (2018), a drypoint etching by Noriko Saito, is an abstract composition of fine scratched linework overlaid with bold blocks of color. A green painterly mass streaked with black spans the upper right, set against a black geometric form with a fork-like protrusion at center, a patch of orange-yellow, and looser pale outline shapes—including a bird-like figure—on the left. The overall palette is dominated by white, black, and green with small accents of orange, giving the print a spare, linear quality punctuated by dense passages of color.
