A classical marble bust rendered in pale stone wears a crown of glittering diamonds and crystals that cascade down across its closed eyes like tears frozen mid-fall. The work merges classical restraint with maximalist embellishment, creating an ironic tension between the serene, idealized face and the excess of sparkle that adorns it. 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.
