A cross-section of a loblolly pine tree displays its concentric growth rings rendered in precise black ink, each ring marking a year of growth from the pale center outward to the irregular bark edge. The composition centers the circular form against a clean white ground, capturing the meditative geometry of nature through the deliberate marks of woodblock printing. 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.
