Underseascape



Was lucky to find a prescription mask in a second-hand shop, which made snorkeling a really different experience. Found out that if I tucked my keys into my suit so they didn't dangle, the fish would come closer.

This piece was done using a technique called "paper staining." Color is dropped onto a different sheet of paper on top that bleeds through onto the finished piece underneath. So there's a lack of control that is fun to watch as it grows. And since it was about being 'undersea', I thought it was appropriate for the subject matter.
