For many of the paintings here I used chopsticks or branches and so forth rather than paintbrushes, in order to generate less control and not get caught up in brush-handling intricacies, and I really like the haphazard look and outcome. Similarly, many of the paintings don't have an up or down, are not tied to a single perspective, and can thus be hung in any direction.

Another version of the title reads: WORKING ON ISSUES THROUGH ART, (E)MOTION & MEDITATION.
It also reads: "This really is one of the worst pieces of s . . t I ever did. Should I nonetheless just accept it?"

Too many authorities are giving too many confusing directions.
It's curious how the words "to" and "from" interlock.

The title includes "blind" as this painting was made with my eyes closed. To make matters even more interesting and unpredictable, I painted each letter or logo many times before I went on to the next one; to make matters even more interesting and unpredictable I painted with chopsticks, and to make matters even more interesting and unpredictable the painting was standing upright while I painted.
