Heavily Scratched Lithography Stone Reveals Texture and Wear

Heavily Scratched Lithography Stone Reveals Texture and Wear

Photo: David Christensen

A close-up, black and white photograph captures a heavily scratched lithography stone, part of David Christensen's 'Plattenkalk' series from 2026. The stone, with an irregular left edge and a relatively straight top and right edge, stands upright on a textured surface against a dark background. Its surface is densely covered with fine, intersecting scratches, creating a complex pattern of light and shadow, particularly concentrated in the center. The bottom edge of the stone shows some wear and minor chipping, resting on a lighter, subtly textured base. The image emphasizes the material's history of use and its tactile qualities.
