A solitary Joshua tree stands sentinel in a sparse desert landscape, its distinctive twisted branches reaching skyward among scattered rocks and low brush. The black and white photograph captures the arid stillness of the California desert with stark clarity, emphasizing the sculptural forms of the vegetation against a pale, empty sky. 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.
