A weathered soccer ball sits centered against a textured backdrop of dark foliage and pale blue-green wash, its classic black pentagonal panels stark against the worn white surface. The gritty, distressed quality and high-contrast black and white treatment give the familiar sports object an almost archaeological presence, as if unearthed from time. 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.
