Above is another artist’s expression of time. Toying with the idea of how long it takes to make a painting, Marcel Duchamp’s “The BrideStrippedBare By HerBachelors, Even (The Large Glass)” was made by allowing a window to collect dust. After a long wait, Duchamp encapsulated the dust within applications of glue and varnish. This artwork took years, and in the end it never was completed, he decided it should remain unfinished.

SAL Challenge: Time (slow)
Make or find an artwork in which time moves slowly. If you are creating your own artwork, be aware of how materials (size and media) effect your expression of time, and notice how your intense focus (such as for a blind contour line drawing) effects your experience of time. If you are finding an artwork by another artist, be sure to include the artist’s name, the artwork title, and the year, if possible. The following imagery is off limits: no melting clocks, no hourglass, no old guys with scythe and robes.

Dear Ruthie, Uh, there will be vulgar language and sexxxy images in WTF Resist! I mean, even more vulgar language than usual from me. It’s all in the name of art! But I thought you should know.
