Full fathom five thy father lies:

Of his bones are coral made:

Those are pearls that were his eyes:

Nothing of him that doth fade

But doth suffer a sea-change

Into something rich and strange.

The Tempest I. ii,

Sea Change: a profound or notable transformation.

    I am very curious about the ocean as a process. In the summer of 2006 I took a short trip out to the South Gulf Islands. I wanted to see what sort of changes might occur if I left a plaster face in a tidal pool over night. When I went back to collect the face the next day I was delighted with the result.
