A high-contrast black and white composition captures the mottled texture and organic patches of cowhide, rendered as bold abstract shapes that suggest both natural animal marking and explosive gestural forms. The dramatic interplay of light and shadow creates depth and movement across the surface, evoking the raw, earthy essence of the Southwest. 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.
