A vertical frame composed of two thick stripes in charcoal black flanks a centered field of soft almond cream, creating a stark geometric composition of pure color fields. The austere palette and symmetrical arrangement convey quiet restraint, allowing the contrast between dark and light to establish visual rhythm without ornamentation. 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.
