Journal du travailleur.
2019/an art work sponsored by a grant
The Worker's Diary is my first wall painting. I started to work on Friday, 7.6.2019 at 12:00 and the work was finished on Sunday morning 9.6.2019. I estimated before starting that I could get the work completed as early as Friday evening. But as usual I painted a lot of layers and some points I had no idea what I was doing. Luckily you can always cover everything with white and draw with charcoal. The color “Brick Red” became the main color that passes through the painting tiding it together. As the finishing touch I used the old abandoned objects found in the Ekokylä. When the painting was ready I completed the work by writing four different possible names for the work in French at the top of the painting. One of them was the Worker's diary, Journal du travailleur.
