"My soul is full of longing for the secret of the sea. And the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me.” — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

This is exactly what I feel when I'm sea kayaking along Scotland's coastlines.
For this flagbook I used acrylic paint that was leftover after a commission I did a few years ago. It has hardback covers with bookcloth and contains 35 paper strips with acrylic paint (front) and pieces of used Admiralty sea charts in acrylic ink (back). The spine is an accordion fold from the same papers. This artists' book comes in a slipcase which is covered with bookcloth and strips of the same painting. The title on the spine has been digitally printed.
