Lewitt’s Quadrangle

Executing this work was a trial of patience. At the onset I was drawing lines with certainty, but nearing the weary end I realized the glory of parenthesis, brackets, and color-coding systems, all of which ended up on my instructions (along with triumphant lines crossing out what I had finished.) The instructions for this work are code in a literal sense that they are explicit instructions written by a human to achieve an end, even if that end is only to bewilder another human (which, arguably, some programmers set out to do.) This artwork is interesting in the way it connects the large amounts of people executing it yet allows them to preserve their individuality through the work. Every interpretation ends up different, though the instructions remain the same.
