An open book held aloft dominates this composition, its pages rendered in pale cream with dark binding, suspended above an abstracted figure in black and olive tones. The layered, geometric forms create a contemplative stillness, with soft grays and warm ochres anchoring the composition in a mood of quiet intellectual focus. 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.
