A profile portrait of a woman wearing a black turtleneck faces right against a rich emerald green ground, her head replaced by an intricate collage of blooming roses, peonies, delicate birds in flight, and a white owl rendered in detailed illustration. The composition merges natural history with surrealist portraiture, creating a dreamlike meditation on the relationship between human identity and the animal and botanical worlds. 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.
