Look close enough and long enough, and change reveals itself. This painting encodes all 100 gradients from my 2025 100 day project, the first time I ever finished the challenge started by Yale design professor Michael Bierut in 2006. The process itself involved painstaking colour matching for 200 colours, painted into thin vertical stripes. Painting this, getting lost in the vigorous strokes of blending, continuing despite the lack of visible progress, it became a record of perseverance. A pivot point in my creative practice, the summer I changed my relationship to art and time. Is this what they call trusting the process?
