• Structure of Thought 6a is printed on translucent vellum and is a beautiful print on its own, so if you didn't get the first one, don't hesitate to click through and grab a print. And of course, it can be layered over Structure of Thought 6b. I sat in the studio with Mike and Doug and we experimented with the proofs, trying to decide the best way to layer them effectively. The objective is twofold: creating a little space between the two layers allows the light to move through the vellum, illuminating the lower print, and when the vellum is suspended it also creates some ripples in the paper, mimicking the texture of their works done on varnished papers.
