Light

A few months ago my right elbow began to hurt. As a letterer and a painter I use my arm all day, but the cause of the pain is the little time that I spend at the computer. Especially right clicking with the mouse is painful. Because it got worse, I got a mouse pen for my birthday:

So now I have even more pain, because my system refuses to adjust to the new movements. And it sure doesn’t help that I have been cutting out letters from a thick paper for two days. It is for an art piece that I promised to make for an office where my brother in law works. It is five square meters in size and I am not sure yet how to finish it. Most of the work has been done (especially puzzling out how to make it in a way that it can be transported in a car or by train was difficult. But the choice is now about making it all white, so that the text will be difficult to read but that the 3D effect will be maximised, or to leave the inside of the letters grey.

The text is from Leonard Cohen, from his song ”Anthem”. I am no particular fan of the music of Leonard Cohen, but this text has been one of my favourites since I heard it some years ago. I have changed the word ”how” into ”where” because I like that slightly better. Here is the video:

Meanwhile I try to make my working place a bit more eh, workable. And I guess you will see some of the effect in this blog the next few days. I have plans to do away some books, so if you are interested in the kind of books that I never want to read again, stay tuned!
