The restrained palette and geometric precision evoke mid-century modernism, while the irregular stripe widths introduce a contemporary, organic quality to what could otherwise feel rigid. 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.
