hi bertil

i really like this alot, this version for some reason speaks to me
more than the single " x1" version.
the wedge at the middle and bottom that is dark in hue
works very well with the dark and varied hues of the drawing / painting in the background.
it is a strange juxtaposition the free- drawing and the rigid plate. the broken-ness of the plate
as rigid as it is in form, really binds the 2 things, the plate(s) and the drawing, and they work very well together.... great stuff!

thanks!

Hi John, many thanks for your comment, happy you appreciated it, wasn't sure that it made sense at all with a sandwich like this; but just couldn't resist printing it once I happened to see the two sheets on top of each other, have tried many other pair of sheets but few seems to make sense.
Many thanks John!
