Six striped fish swim in a vertical line across a warm ochre ground, rendered in clean black and white linework that emphasizes their elongated forms and delicate fins. The composition is spare and orderly, with each specimen carefully positioned to show subtle variations in posture, creating a naturalist's catalog frozen in graphic simplicity. 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.
