A collection of mussels rendered in expressive pen linework arranges across a warm ochre ground, their shells depicted with flowing hatching and organic curves that suggest both form and movement. The composition celebrates the sculptural quality of these shellfish through varied angles and overlapping placement, creating a rhythmic, almost musical arrangement against the earthy backdrop. 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.
