A dense checkerboard pattern of black and white squares warps and undulates across the composition, creating the optical illusion of movement and spatial distortion. The repetitive geometry bends and flows as if the flat surface were rippling, producing a hypnotic, vertiginous effect that challenges the viewer's perception of stillness. 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.
