A bold checkerboard pattern in black and white warps and ripples across the composition, its rigid grid fractured by undulating waves that create an optical illusion of movement and depth. The distortion transforms the geometric precision of the checkers into a dynamic, almost hypnotic field that challenges the eye to follow its shifting surface. 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.
