Multipolar Projects: It’s Really Really Really OK
As a woodworker myself I understand the monotony and borderline insanity of a repeated task. (Yesterday alone I made over 1,000 notches in some wood blanks to make boxes.) However, when it's all done, there's definitely beauty in the results and therapy in repetition. That said, Chicago-based artist Do you have a "traditional" job? Is this the the first 1,000,000 piece project you have conceived? How many hours do you put into the project in a given week? Have you thought of hiring elves? More images after the jump.
For now.
First and last.
Pretty much every waking minute I am thinking about this project, fantasizing how I will actually complete it. Every chance I get, I am in the shop, cutting away. I don't know if I could put a number on it, just a word: Constantly.
I have been considering this for the prep work, as well as the packaging, shipping, etc. However, it is my challenge to myself, that every single piece will be cut and numbered solely by myself. Possibly the other tasks, I can get help to lighten my load. Got to get this done before arthritis kicks in.
