A deep teal ground erupts with scattered fragments of warm bronze and gold, creating an impression of ancient surfaces worn by time and exposure. The composition feels archaeological, as if layers of civilization have been compressed into a single weathered plane, with marks and disturbances suggesting buried stories and forgotten languages. 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.
