A textured copper surface dominates the upper two-thirds of the composition, its warm metallic finish streaked with weathered patina and oxidation marks that suggest age and decay. Deep teal-green pigment pools and bleeds upward from the bottom edge, creating an organic horizon line where rust meets shadow in a contemplative study of material degradation. 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.
