It is my worst habit: touching my face and hair often, usually without realizing it. By using globs of paint on each of my hands, I was able to have visual documentation of the accumulative nature of repetition. Television-watching during this performance represents a passive activity and passage of time; it also serves as a realistic focal point in my life. I find it rather exciting that my face and actions, rather than the television, serve as the focal point in this performance because unconscious, usually-undocumented scratches and face touches create an asymmetrically-balanced and visually interesting composition between color, energy, and quantity.
