#1. Approach to infinity
This
is an on-going project that I have been working on for quite some time
now, it is a 100 x 100 grid making 10 000 boxes, each box is
allocated a color based on an arbitrary numerical rule. The
beauty of this project is that it can never really be completed
because the grid can be extended infinitely. Now and then when
inspired to do so I fill a box or two or ten or more. I would like
you to join me in filling more boxes. For your support, you get to
claim ownership of a box, I will put in your initials (or initials of
any person you like), I will print the poster and have it sent to you
(with your initials in your respective box). And so you will get to
take part in approaching infinity, see the project develop and see
other people's initials who contributed to my indiegogo campaign.
#2. Wheel artwork
I have always been fascinated by structural aesthetics, and so for me the wheel mechanism conjures up a similar fascination. At the risk of sounding egocentric, now and then I find myself captivated by it.
#3. Miriam farming
These are my favorite images in the video. Partly because they evoke recollections of childhood for me, but more than that I think it is remarkable that so many women work and survive under quite severe conditions, while also nursing and nurturing their children.
Thank you
