Illumination: Counting

 

Catalog number: 2013-0010

DESCRIPTION: This piece is about counting, which is something that I find myself doing when I'm under extreme stress and I'm trying to remain calm. I also sometimes do it when I'm walking by myself. I count in English, but I'm just as likely to count in French or Italian. I used to think that it was strange. Well, I still think it's strange, but now I know that I'm not unique. Revealing your strange habits (literally illuminating them) can be liberating.
