Two curved brushstrokes, one in warm tan and one in deep black, face each other across a pale ground like mirrored arcs or abstract mouths. The composition is spare and meditative, with loose, gestural marks that suggest both playfulness and restraint against the quiet white space surrounding them. 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.
