Actually, the longest part of building this was finding the right wording. Here are some previous attempts:
- When painting this, I had no artistic intent
- When painting this, there was nothing I wanted to express with the picture
- When painting this, I wanted to express nothing
In German, there's a nice ambiguity: "Bei diesem Bild habe ich mir nichts gedacht" is somewhere between 'I was not thinking' and 'I wanted to express nothing.'. It's also the reason why I went with a German stamp (which is my mother tongue) and not an English one.
It is SO complicated to say that I wasn't up to anything with these pictures.
