Deep Series Thoughts about the limitless formless weight which is the sea. Different blues are layered. Pages are layered, with embedded shapes of dyed pattern, and metalic paper strips. Pages are printed, then added shapes are over printed to increase depth of colour and contrast. Embedded shapes are revealed through the ink jet printed layers when the page is waxed.
