A teal-colored creature peers from behind an intricate tangle of delicate botanical forms, its single red eye the only warm note against the cool, shadowed composition. Intricate line work creates a dense forest of leaves and branches that both conceal and frame the shy figure, suggesting a tension between the desire to hide and the impulse to observe. 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.
