The soft palette of warm earth tones combined with the dynamic distortion creates a playful tension between order and movement, suggesting both stability and fluid transformation. 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.
