Art Description

73,123 hand ruled lines using a pen and ink on blue grid paper with recreated stream of consciousness of the event of drawing a straight line over and over again, repeated on both sides of the paper - accompanied by the paradox of re-presenting these events again and again in a text form using Microsoft Word and a printer.

Created September 26, 1998

Scott Hollingsworth Hey there Chris Howlett!
Congrats on getting to the final 30. I missed the cut, but what a surprise to see your name.
Good luck
