THE HAVISHAM HOUR

-•www.havishamhour.com

Each day I read a single page of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. After reading the page I use it as format to create artwork inspired by the words in it. I then scan the sketched page and publish it, along with a brief journal entry and the reading of the page, exactly at 8:40 AM each day, on my local time, the time in the novel when Miss Havisham receives a letter on her wedding day announcing her groom is not showing up. The project started January 7th, 2013 and it will end June 12th, 2014: 521 days, 521 pages, 521 sketches.
