Soundings

Soundings – The act of seeking the depth of waters by using a leaded line.  

Soundings – The act of seeking understanding by allowing the subconscious to emerge.

Soundings – A book of eccentric volvelles.

Each of the three volvelles has three parts that rotate independently without a common center point. As the parts are rotated, combinations of images appear.

One of a kind.
