I have been working on disk 3 of 4. This is the first layer over 6 layers of gesso, cool weather today allowing a good application time if paint dries too fast it becomes tacky and unworkable.

An excerpt from my dissertation came to mind.

This culture of use implies a profound transformation of the status of the work of art: going beyond its traditional role as a receptacle of artist’s vision, it now functions as an active agent, a musical score, an unfolding scenario, a framework that possesses autonomy and materiality to varying degrees, its form able to oscillate from a simple idea to sculpture or canvas (Bourriaud, 2002, p. 20).

I always enjoy and can be unplifted by a day painting such as today, everything went well and I am very pleased with the colour. Time to order paint.
