The composition creates a rhythmic pattern of rounded shapes stacked closely together, evoking both the spare geometry of the desert and the intricate repetition found in nature. 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.
