A vertical stack of smooth river stones and beach pebbles creates a precarious tower of earthy blacks, grays, and warm browns against a pale cream ground. The meticulously rendered composition captures the grainy texture and striations of each weathered stone, evoking both the fragility of balance and the quiet meditative practice of stone stacking. 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.
