small cosmos

The same brick as in the previous post, turned up side down and over again. Sketched and drawn on paper, tracing its shape further feels like discovering a small cosmos of its own.

Tracing

Tracing the shape of a brick, 10 cm wide. A smooth yet irregular shape, washed and transformed by the sea. Wrapped in paper and so I can trace its contour; then scanned.
