Beneath the sea's surface, a writhing fish forms the letter 'S'. The colours of the print are blue in the sky, green in the sea, and red on the fish, the sea foam and more lightly, on the head.

DescriptionAmelia studied BA Graphic Communication Design at Central Saint Martins. She says ''Sky Wept' is a collagraph print that draws upon a combination of Scandinavian and West African creation myths to create a new narrative in which Earth’s destruction causes her lover, Sky, to weep and flood the world. This print is one of the plates featured in my book, 'Folktale for the Future: Flood Story'.'
