Anastasiia Sviridenko: Deep Drawing Lesson Room

You have probably drawn squiggles or lines while talking on the phone. If you remember your school days, did your hand reach out to bring the unconscious to the school desk? Time slows down. Attention shifts.

Drawing is deeply immersive in the present moment, locating your thoughts, perceptions and feelings in time and space. Drawing leaves traces of your gestures that can be learned and reconfigured later.
