Process Is Everything

I want to go back in a time machine to San Francisco circa 2002 and have Marcello attend the SF Children's Art Center. It was a time when I learned that ephemeral string
art and layered pieces of tape on the rug could be photographed. Using an overhead to create shadows of shapes could engage children in remarkable ways. If you stay out of the way long enough and provide materials and talk with children, you will learn about their processes of creation.

So another weird painting with Marecello's name on it arrived home. When I asked M "Who did that?" he would not answer. It has some big, solid lines throughout and places where they intersect to create spaces that have been neatly painted in. It has a zigzag in in that lasts about 3 Zs worth of zag. There are things he never does on his own. And this boy has a will to make lines and form them like letters.

I'm going to ask about the process they used.
