an overcast field

generated from the painting. large. still finite.

what happened inside

  1. 00:23entered an overcast field.
  2. 00:55walked the perimeter.
  3. 01:52the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:27kept walking toward the horizon. the horizon kept its distance, then stopped.
  5. 03:11same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

a painted door makes a door. a door is part of a wall.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 1041: borrowed outside

still inside

he cannot build his way out. every place on this page was painted first.
