WTF / by Philip Tarlow

1:51 PM: i started my painting day early and am ending early. gaze 23 will travel 500 nft/ to our house for further evaluation and to determine what, if anything needs to change tomorrow morning. 

the colored dots i introduced a little while ago have given the surface a richer texture while at the same time tying together and enlivening collaged elements with areas of pure painting. her surprised expression seems now to be a reaction to the collaged map fragment resembling a flash of light that appears above her right eye. the watch to our left of her face reads more like a celestial body. the overall feeling couild be related to the usa series: mr. robot, where every day realities are upended by menacing forces and the status quo is no longer.

11:38 AM: i got a nice early start and was able to use my first fresh energy, which i've labeled kicking foal. that's kind of how it feels. as i gazed at yesterday's version of gaze 23 it was all i could do to keep from yawning.

B-O-R-I-N-G!

so i launched in with all the means at hand, and here's the current state.

it's got the look of a tattered billboard that has undergone the ravages of time. speaking of which, there's a watch fragment in the upper left from a WSJ article my dear friend louis sent from houston.

 

 

 

this morning i have a wide open attitude, which i want to take advantage of. i'll  post results in terms of changes to gaze 23 as soon as available.
