Delicate figures in dark suits and dresses gather in repeating clusters across a soft cream ground, their forms rendered in spare black linework with touches of coral and ochre at the head. Vertical hatching frames each grouping like a forest of thin branches, creating a rhythmic pattern that feels both intimate and mysteriously crowded. 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.
