A black and cream checkerboard pattern warps and ripples across the composition, as if the rigid grid is being viewed through water or pulled by invisible forces. The geometric squares shift and buckle against their own symmetry, creating a hypnotic tension between order and distortion. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
