Three cranes rendered in delicate line work and soft gray tones circle and glide across a bold crimson ground, their long necks and trailing legs creating a sense of graceful, perpetual motion. The composition balances the birds' flowing lines against the saturated red backdrop, evoking the spare elegance of East Asian ink traditions. 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.
