Intertwining serpents slither across a dense garden of deep red and blush roses, their sinuous bodies creating a hypnotic pattern against pale cream and green foliage. The composition balances botanical detail with dark, coiling forms, layering classical floral illustration with an unsettling natural history sensibility that transforms delicate blooms into a landscape of danger and beauty. 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.
