Two hands rendered in intricate stippled linework reach toward each other against a clean white ground, their palms nearly touching in a gesture of connection or support. The dense pattern of marks creates depth and texture across the skin while the negative space between the hands draws focus to the moment of near-contact. 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.
