The layered color shift suggests a horizon melting into earth, rendered with a textured, almost felted surface that catches light like metallic paper. 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.
