Symmetrical vertical stripes in shades of gold, orange, red, navy, and cream converge toward the center, creating a mirror-image hourglass or bowtie silhouette that appears to fold inward. The bold, flat color blocks and geometric precision evoke 1970s artwork sensibilities, evoking both optical illusion and retro nostalgia through their rhythmic, hypnotic composition. 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.
