Aft Draft

Collage · The line that reaches — a cable inside the ship becomes the wire that meets a boat at sea Collage · Frames within frames — a doorframe, a porthole, a phone on glass, a wall of screens Collage · Between shutters — between two frames of the same panel, the aft draft moved from 7.21 to 7.16 Collage · Distance — from the whole deck to a fingertip, the same colours at different scales Collage · The sinking point — a probe in the air, the moment it meets the sea, three fragments seconds apart, a yellow point underwater Detail of a coring plan marking where sediment would be drawn Collage · Sediment — a line descending into the sea in seconds, and sediment cores brought up from the seafloor
