Vertical stripes in black, charcoal gray, and cream stack and shift across the composition in a rhythmic pattern that evokes the geometric language of mid-century modernism. The bars vary subtly in width and value, creating visual movement while maintaining a restrained, ordered sensibility through their measured intervals. 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.
