a fluxy piece of mine back in 1978 was a piece of 4 mil plastic with a diagonal line drawn from the upper right hand corner to the bottom left hand corner, maybe 20-30 feet long. I drew the line just walking on top of the thing stretched out on the floor with a black magic marker then I rolled it up so that the stripe spiralled into the middle of the plastic roll and the black line gradually faded into obscurity as it went deeper and deeper toward the middle. I thought it was a great piece. I had just moved to north texas at the time and submitted the work to a museum exhibition. Later I never heard back from them and when I enquired they knew nothing of my work having been submitted and could not find it so I looked around and SURE ENOUGH it had been unrolled and used by the paint crew as a drop cloth for touching up ther walls for the exhibit! cecil
