A pale face gazes forward with its upper half opened to reveal an intricate still life of mushrooms, botanical elements, and natural forms rendered in warm browns and creams against a soft sage green background. The collage-style composition merges portraiture with natural history illustration, creating a surreal meditation on inner worlds and the hidden complexity beneath a composed exterior. 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.
