From
her flat files, Caydance pulled a large sheet of "300 pound" (how much it weighs per 500 sheets) cold press Arches paper. With a beam compass and a pencil, on the paper she drew a gameboard, open at an erased top and housing 11 marked spaces.
From her collection of assorted Arches paper fragments, she cut 11 equally sized board pieces, using the first one as a size and shape pattern. She considered xeroxing the images on the book object, but decided against subjecting the object to that process. Instead on each piece she drew a cartoon image of its contents. Since her plan was to mount the gameboard drawing on the wall and then tack on movable game pieces, she punched a hole for a thumbtack in each piece. Then, with vibrant watercolor hues, she began carefully painting each piece.
Pinned to the wall with a moveable game piece tacked in each of the 11 spaces, the whole would have the aura of an informal artwork. However, her intention was not to tack up a piece until she had investigated it -- whether that was an understanding of its meaning or a physical act -- such as going to the bakery that she thought the cakes pointed to -- an action she had planned for Saturday morning.
