A fragmented portrait emerges through layers of coral, cream, and teal paint, with gestural black marks cutting across the composition like interruptions or erasures. The surface bears the evidence of its own making, with drips, scratches, and weathered patches creating a sense of vulnerability and ongoing transformation. 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.
