About the work

According to the artist this book is based on observations of the movements and forms of clouds. The sketches and texts describe the diversity of the sky and also the feelings and reflections of the artist. As Marakulina notes, “Clouds are a universal educational substance, visual information that can be perceived differently depending on the condition of the observer. Cloud Student is a notebook of observations or a textbook written by a student.”

The book was created as part of the Garage Library project Single Copy.
