finishing touches begun

Margaret started repainting the area above our door and front window today. When we painted last year we designed all the colour patterns after a plan of the house from a distant perspective. However, the house is most often seen from a close up, low angle perspective (basically standing in the front yard or at the front door) so the result is that the blue of the second floor is not well seen and the whole thing is off balance. The solution is to change this area from yellow to blue. It will need a second coat, as will the door, but it feels great to get this step closer.

Janine did her public presentation of her thesis film today. It holds together quite well. I'm very happy with what she has been doing.

44

Work. Today I filmed myself working and thus have officially burned the candle at both ends, having made a one minute colour 16mm film created from over 1200 two second time exposures which should result in rapid ghostly movements, and I have painted the garage (just one end of it, yellow oil paint). It might be part of my "Grain" series as a reference to the black and white sequence of me smashing up a sidewalk beside my house in the first part of "Toxic", but it might just be a side project (I'm thinking that everything I do is a side project and that I've not started a real project yet).
