This print is from a series of 4 drawings in the form of woodcuts, describing the movement of the finger over the keyboard of a computer when selecting the letters and digits of passwords. The passwords are for accessing various services and institutions on the internet. The title of each picture is the password it describes. The woodcuts are tinted with high pressure on thick paper, leaving a heavily embossed white line standing out from the bright yellow background.
The prints were made for the 'Nasasjón' exhibition at Peacock Visual Arts in 2014.
