A regular checkerboard of black and cream squares warps and undulates across the composition, creating an optical illusion of movement and dimensionality. The geometric pattern flows like ripples through water, shifting the viewer's perception of a flat surface into something fluid and dynamic. 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.
