A terracotta vessel with an organic, asymmetrical silhouette holds two commanding eyes rendered in cream, their radiating lashes creating a hypnotic, almost mystical presence against the deep charcoal ground. The warm ochre tones of the ceramic form contrast sharply with negative space, while the simplified, graphic treatment of the eyes lends an archaeological yet contemporary feel to this contemplative still life. 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.
