A weathered baseball sits centered against a soft gray ground, its stitching rendered in precise detail across the sphere's surface. The monochromatic photograph captures the object with quiet clarity, emphasizing texture and form through subtle gradations of light and shadow. 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.
