A solid dark brown rectangle sits above a field of thin horizontal stripes that fade and graduate across cream ground, creating a sense of movement and rhythm. The composition balances geometric simplicity with organic variation, using minimal color and maximum restraint to suggest both structure and flow. 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.
