A cream-colored ceramic vessel with two rounded handles sits against a dark charcoal ground, its bulbous body filled with vertical columns of stacked cross marks in a rhythmic, geometric pattern. The minimalist composition evokes tribal pottery traditions while the repetitive mark-making creates a meditative, almost textile-like quality across the form. 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.
