I spent my whole young life trying to avoid repetitive factory work, standing beside an assembly line building machines, but here I am, working at home as nearly a thoughtless robot, barely alive, painting a grid.
[Are we not all only barely alive? The future is unknown for all of us.]
I painted two thin layers of dark acrylic over the tape application to keep the 'strings' in place and fill any potential gaps between the tape and canvas, attached some labeling.
I fabricated a wood-aluminum rail system, 15 minutes (I even waxed it). I will use this rail system for conveniently keeping a steady hand while painting intricate corners of infinity (as far as I'm concerned), exactly like 54,756 new attempts.
I cleaned up the studio, doing laundry, and I am preparing for this project.
I have yet to create the actual image that I will be using as scenery, the subject of this painting — it will take a day, NP.
Sometimes I think of other possible contour scenarios besides the square grid, like combinations of colored diamonds and triangles using the similar color schema development methods —maybe ten years from now.
