Continuity An early experiment using the single exposure intaglio method.  Exposed outside on a sunny late Winter day for 4 minutes.  Printed using AkuaIntaglio water-based ink.

The wash out was probably slightly over-long and it was difficult to get the lines to retain sufficient ink.

The complete image is but one "continuous" line, spiralling inwards to the centre.  The line was drawn freehand with the objective of following the previously drawn line as closely as possible.  Within a few circuits, some lines had diverged markedly form the initial border line.
