Putting the "Concept" in "Conceptual Art" 

Notes by S. H. Cullinane on Dec. 28, 2003 

"I took the number twenty-four and there's twenty-four ways of expressing the numbers one, two, three, four.  And I assigned one kind of line to one, one to two, one to three, and one to four.  One was a vertical line, two was a horizontal line, three was diagonal left to right, and four was diagonal right to left.  These are the basic kind of directions that lines can take.... the absolute ways that lines can be drawn.   And I drew these things as parallel lines very close to one another in boxes.  And then there was a system of changing them so that within twenty-four pages there were different arrangements of actually sixteen squares, four sets of four.  Everything was based on four.  So this was kind of a... more of a... less of a rational... I mean, it gets into the whole idea of methodology."

Yes, it does.
