In the cosmic sea I float
A golden shell around my skin
Below the depths, above the stars
I am alone with all there is
I do not ask where I belong
Or what meaning is within it all
I only breathe the present tense
And drown in my wavering thoughts
I do not fear the water's power
Nor if it is I that it devours
For I know that in the cosmic sea
I am as solemn as the water can be
How big, actually.
Drawn to scale against a person of average height. Every size is a 4:5 rectangle, the same proportion as the work itself, so nothing is cropped to fit.
Sizes are the printed image. Framed works add the moulding around that. Standard shipping is included at every size.
Three ways to own it.
Same image, same edition pool, same certificate. What changes is the object it arrives as, and what you have to do when it gets there.
