Creating collage fodder - getting ready for tulip season.
Managed to spill half a bottle of acrylic ink: Quinacridone Red of course, a staining pigment. Fortunately, my entire work surface is covered in silicone sheets, not a drop on my tables or my turkish carpet.*
* why, oh, why,do I have a turkish rug in my studio area? Printmaking is hard on the feet - but, really, for inspiration, of course!

For anyone interested: Here's an ambiguous set of instructions (in the spirit of Sol leWitt or https://conditionaldesign.org) for (re)creating a simplified version of the infinitely evolving De/Frag piece (see beginning of this thread).
Preparations:
0) You may use any suitable medium.
1) Create a pixel-based canvas of arbitrary dimensions.
2) Create a palette of random choice of 4 colors, plus black and white.
Repeated steps:
3) Choose two random colors from the palette, giving black or white priority.
4) Using the chosen colors, create a random pixel pattern in one of four sizes (e.g. using percentages of the longest side of the canvas as pattern size, e.g. 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, or 4x4, 8x8, 16x16 pixels...)
5) Choose a random pixel position on the canvas and a random color tolerance.
6) Perform the flood fill algorithm[1] from the chosen start position, selecting all connected pixels within the chosen tolerance.
7) Apply the new pattern (created in step 4) to the pixels selected in step 6, in an order and speed of your choosing.
8) Repeat from step 3
[1] The Flood Fill algorithm is described here:

I took an art class this week, online, and am excited about the new dimensions it's adding to my way of art-making. This has quite a different feel to my two previous attempts to paint this (abstract, emotional) subject.
I'm celebrating the ambiguity, the depth, the move away from narrative and illustratoon \o/
Edit: The videos from the class may still be up here: https://pages.art2life.com/live/

watching DAVID LYNCH: THE ART LIFE on #CriterionChannel
I've seen it before but now it has even more significance in a way. What a special and wholly unique person and artist.

Oooh, look what I found!
Rummaging around for a blank notebook for a new project, I came upon this blank 7x9" japanese rice paper accordion book!
I got it second-hand, somewhere. It'll be easy to add the missing back cover.

I've started watching #DavidLynch on 3Masterclass. Although he's not a sophisticated "orator," I find myself loving his ideas. He keeps it simple and humble. He's practical and humble. And what he says makes a lot of sense in terms of the kinds of films he makes.
My landlord allows nails and screws, but nothing can be stuck to the walls. This is a pain in my studio workarea.
Voila!
My shower curtain / magnet bar hack :-)

(This is my 2nd shower curtain hack. I use another colourful one, with big bold designs, as a video background. Cheap and cheerful! :-)

So, after trying some other stuff, I'm going to stick to videos about art techniques again today.
I figure it's the dopamine without the calories or addiction factor. Or … well … ok, but it seems a more constructive addiction?
