Deep crimson and black tones blend across a heavily textured surface, creating an abstract composition that evokes weathered metal or aged stone. Cracks and striations run through the darkened palette, suggesting decay and raw materiality without representing any specific form. 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.
