A red and cream checkerboard grid warps and undulates across the composition, its rigid geometry bent into flowing, organic curves that spiral toward the center. The optical effect creates a hypnotic sense of movement and depth, as if the flat pattern is being pulled through an invisible vortex of energy. 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.
