My goal in 2024 was to complete one new artwork each week – starting on Sunday and ending on Saturday – with the purpose of discovering a new direction in my work. This project was driven by a large roll of watercolor paper Canson 140 lb. (60” x 180”.) I ultimately cut the paper into 14.5” x 14.5” squares. Halfway through the year, I counted the remaining “squares” and discovered there was only 36 weeks in total. Apparently, I made a mathematical error when the roll of paper was cut. Upon completion, the collection of “squares” creates one comprehensive artwork at approximately 8.5’ x 6’.
