Warm amber and burnt orange fragments scatter across a deep charcoal ground, creating an organic, mottled pattern that evokes the natural segments of tortoiseshell. The irregular shapes overlap and float asymmetrically, building a sense of natural movement and texture through warm-against-cool contrast. 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.
