Horizontal stripes in navy, forest green, and cream shift and overlap across the composition, creating a rhythmic pattern where each column disrupts the continuity of the rows below. The careful misalignment produces a sense of controlled movement and visual tension, rendered in a restrained palette that feels both contemporary and grounded. 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.
