A checkerboard pattern of black and white squares warps and undulates across the composition, creating the illusion of a curved, three-dimensional surface that seems to breathe and shift. The geometric precision of the grid contrasts with the fluid distortion, producing a hypnotic optical effect that draws the eye inward. 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.
