A row of vintage books leans at a gentle angle across a pale ground, their cream and tan spines marked with faded text and accented by coral and deep red cloth covers. The composition captures a moment of quiet collapse, with volumes gradually tilting from left to right, evoking the weight of accumulated stories and the passage of time. 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.
