Paint Chip Murals
We all paint our walls; the color names don’t really matter. Or do they? I let the function of each site guide my selection of a color based on its name. Which I then included along with the code number. The result zeroes out the scale of my practice. A painting made from wall paint–on a wall–that by naming the color names the painting.
