March mostly

Description

Hints: The first pages are just warm-ups – it gets more interesting after that. The album’s title is tied to dates (there’s a little twist to it).

Process:

The date and initials (and just like that, the page is no longer blank!)
A random line or shape (it seems to appear “on its own”)
Detailing and the birth of a сюжет/story (the conscious mind kicks in)

sometimes words are added (with meaning or without)
sometimes a title suggests itself (usually an obvious one)

Participants in the creation:

The album (left behind by a girl who moved away from Tbilisi)
A mechanical pencil (taken from the office in 2020, never returned due to COVID-related reasons)
The mechanical pencil’s twin brother (steps in for his brother of its own accord)
The left hand (property of the artist)
