The lines evoke the texture of traditional ticking fabric, a utilitarian weave rooted in English country cottage aesthetics, rendered here as pure graphic abstraction with subtle warmth beneath the cool tonality. 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.
