Lines on lines by J.Waring Rago:
edited, unpunctuated, contd:
Lines are points which have grown
Lines suggest architecture
Parallel lines suggest strong structure
Lines represent edges
Lines misrepresent edges
A line denotes the horizon
The horizon is not a line
There is no such thing as the horizon line
A single line makes a circle
A circular line encloses
Circles are easily drawn lines
A perfect circle is not easy to draw
A straight line is easy to draw
A perfectly straight line is not easy to draw
A line is a flow
A line is a direction
Line is temporal
A horizontal line is one thing, a vertical line an entirely different thing
A diagonal line is dynamic
Lines can be strong or weak or anywhere in between
Lines can be quick or slow
Lines are not necessarily straight
Waves are lines
A line potentially lasts forever
A line carries its origin within it
Everyone draws lines
Lines are being drawn all the time
A line is not necessarily drawn using the hand
At least 10,000 lines can be written about the line
These lines are in no particular order
…
The space between lines may also be a line
No one line is ever exactly the same as another
A line is a trajectory
A line is also the thought of that line
Line is both thing and action (noun and verb)
A thread is a line
The line is the thread
Lines are either broken or unbroken
Unbroken lines connect
Broken lines disconnect
A line is potentially infinite
Parallel lines never meet even at infinity
Perfectly parallel lines suggest infinity
Crosshatching is made of lines so line can be tone
The word line comes from line, as in linen
Linen is made of threads
Linen is used to line things
Lining is an internal matter
Linseed oil comes from the seed of the linen
The seed begins the line
A seed is a point of origin
A linen thread comes from a seed which has grown
Linseed oil comes from the seed which has grown
Linseed oil carries its origin within it
Lines as threads can be woven
Lines make a fabric
Lines make a grid
…
Lines on Lines on Lines:
I may repeat a line
The line is never the same again
The lines are not rules,
The lines are writing
The lines have endless progression
The lines have unbounded implications
The lines imply endless expansion
These lines may contradict themselves
These lines do not contradict themselves
These lines contain multitudes
These lines are also verse
The lines have grown from a single point of origin
The lines do not end
These lines on Line are at least 10,000
I may repeat a line
These lines are memories
These lines may be hidden or lost
You must write your own lines
These lines belong as much to you, as they do to me
These lines are a gift
If I repeat myself it is to strengthen the lines and the line
My paintings embody all of the lines on line
My other works also embody lines and lines on line on lines
The above 2 lines are the most important lines of all
I shall illustrate only a few of the lines on line, as they are endless
These lines on lines on lines are parallel
These lines on lines cross over each other
These lines on lines on lines also have lines between them
The lines on lines on line are as endless as the lines on lines
When the lines on line pause the line does not disappear it merely rests
When the lines on lines on lines pause the line still persists and remains unbroken
The paused line is the instant suspended indefinitely
The instant contains the presence of the line
Infinity is an unbroken line
The symbol for infinity is drawn with a single line which returns to its point of origin
indefinite pause

Note to self: further explorations of infinity are mind-bogglingly fascinating and could also weave into my work – it is more about where to draw the line (forgive the pun) as in what not to do rather than what to do. That old phrase of mine – keeping things simple but not too simple (minimalism leads eventually to a type of self- destruction). A painting does not need to be clever – things can never fully be worked out – this from my study plan given at the very beginning of this MA see my pebble pad stuff.
