proogress on new project


My project for the moment is to paint a pattern/shape for myself. I had been working from a basic system to recreate the saved jews from Schindler's List, but now i am more interested in creating a system to i dentify my patterned shapes. I have come up with these numbers:
3,1,7,22,6, 5.2,12, 34.23,132, 11.41,10, and 18

These numbers were gathered from data that i know about myself.

Physical Data:

my height= 5.2
my weight= 132
my shoe size= 7
length of my hand (thumb to pinky)~ 6

I decided to factor in the fact that making the painting would be a "happening", and so I am documenting it by using:

The Time i started the painting: 10:18 am
and the date of the happening: 3/1/07

in taking in the nature of much of the work i create, I realized that i have an aesthetic infatuation with the ratio of 3:1

I figured out that my weight(132) divided by my age (22)= the length of my hand (6)

to me time can be represented visually through expansion of circles.

On a wall clock, 10:18 is equivalent to 178 degrees.
178 degrees divided by my height (5.2)= 34.23

Using the 3:1 ratio, ----> 34.23:11.41
