I finished painting the designs on the wall, and started to attach black or grey cable in straight lines on the ordered wall. Some of them go round the door reveals and then start to behave in a less ordered fashion. I spent a coffee break wondering a) whether to paint more designs to the left of the door, which is blank at the moment, or on the right of the door to fill in spaces, so the designs might seem to go through the floor or ceiling, and b) whether to let the lines of cables relate in any way to the designs or not. Then I worked out a timeline, and with 4 working days left, more painting is not realistic, though I would like to do it. As far as the cables go, a halfway position seems best; if they relate too strongly to the painted designs, that will imply that the designs are more realistic than they are, on the other hand, because this is ‘ordered’ world, they cannot completely ignore the designs. In one of the photos you can see that the door leads into a darkened space; this is my creative chaos room. It is quite hard to work here as the windows are boarded up, and the only light comes through the door.
