You see a long strip of white paper, folded like an accordion, covered in thick, uneven crayon marks. It’s not meant to hang flat—it’s folded into a small square that fits in your hands. The artist carried it around like a secret, unfolding it only for close friends. The marks look rushed, almost like a child’s scribble, but the size makes it feel grand. If you like how simple things can feel mysterious, look up more work by James Lee Byars.
