About this work

You see a tall, skinny sheet of paper covered in jagged lines and scribbles in red, blue, and black ink. Some shapes look like letters, others like faces or machines, all jammed together without empty space. This drawing was part of a hand-written book Terent’ev made for a friend. He filled every inch on purpose—no margins, no breath. The lines feel urgent, like notes taken in the middle of a fever dream. If you like the way ink can feel alive, try looking up cross-hatching next.
