Six vertical bars in ochre gold stand in quiet rhythm across a white ground, interrupted by one narrower bar in deep navy that breaks the pattern with hand-lettered text reading "expectant circle" in white. The composition evokes a deliberate minimalism, where repetition and subtle disruption create visual tension between order and anticipation. 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.
