THE HAVISHAM HOUR

by Julio Panisello

Each day I read a single page of the novel. 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 a podcast of the reading, 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.
