Aqua triangular shapes are in the background behind a large Santa Barbara sandstone boulder upon which the text "Between Planes" and "Exploring Sculpture through Print" is seen. "Between" is half carved in brown to match the sandstone and then half with the word "Planes" in white that has black rubbing as if from a litho crayon or ink rubbing. These parts are upon a folded sheet of paper that is laid upon the boulder. The subtext is in Aqua and angled beneath the edge of the folded paper and overlapping a part of it.
