Mountain Daisies oneLINE Time-lapse

Eiffel oneLINE in Stages

When we visited Paris in February of 2017, we found it easy to orient ourselves by finding the tower whenever we needed a landmark.  It was quite a hike from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower or from the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame, but we did both several times.  It was like the long lean lines that make up the Eiffel Tower itself - criss-crossing the city.

Etch A Sketch

We have all played with an Etch A Sketch and tried to make a picture.  The painting above shows what is possible when you reduce our three dimensional world to a single line. With an Etch A Sketch you can cross, double back and re-trace lines you have already created.  The challenge is to make what seems impossible possible; create an image from a single line without crossing, doubling back or re-tracing any lines.
