Melissa Day: Seascapes

In 1993, printmaker Melissa Day joined a scientific expedition to the Eastern Arctic to study the sea bed. Out of this experience came the sources for her multi-layered lithographs and etchings: sonar scans and ship's tracks, sole marks of icebergs, evidence of the slow accretion of sedimentary rocks under the sea. Sea comments "I am interested in the submerged seascape -- how it is shaped over time and how these processes relate to the processes within my own work."
