Infinite fill!
Is a perforation a fill or an empty?
infinite empty.
sally thats your desktop image ? i think im going to use something like this for a stenciling template when i go back to painting. there is a place off canal st called space metal that sells metal scraps that ill check next trip into the city. remember those grind it your self pigment posts ?
yep. it's the mesh on my speakers. I do not remember any such thing as a pigment post. qu'est-ce que c'est?
nice - the pigment post right after the rothko post
oh. that kind of post. I was thinking along the lines of a mortar and pestle, which you might need, come to think of it. A nice little hand-held pigment grinding post. If you are into pigment-grinding-stencil-painting you might be into Gerald Ferguson (he got a little famous in the late 70s for his pile of 1,000,000 pennies).

i will need a mortar and pestle. and i also have to figure out how to blow (spray) oil paint medium with compressed air on to a square rabbit glue primed hardwood panel of a particular size. ive been thinking about black on maroon for some reason.
good luck. don't inhale. Here's a tip from Alberti: "It would certainly be useful if white and black were made from those very large pearls which Cleopatra destroyed in vinegar, so that painters would be, as they ought to be, miserly and good managers and their works would be truthful, sweet and pleasing. I cannot over emphasize the advantage of this frugality to painters. If they should perhaps sin in the distributing of black and white, it is to be held less against one who uses much black than one who does not well spread out white. From day to day follow nature so that horrid and obscure things come to be hated by you; and as in doing you learn, your hand becomes more delicate in grace and beauty. Certainly by nature we love open and clear things; therefore, close more tightly the way in which it is most easy to sin." -from On Painting, Book Two
good quote thanks - the screens are calibrated with O/A (open area) figures. choosing one with 51 or 50%O/A puts you right in the middle of for-ground and back-ground. and i like the scale of the hole size at 132 holes PSI. any way i ordered a perforated sheet metal catalog yesterday. im hoping they'll sell me a sample (swatch) package to help in the template fabrication process.
