" We ought, then, to set up images of a kind that can adhere longest in memory. And we shall do so if we establish similitudes as striking as possible; if we set up images that are not many or vague but active; if we assign to them exceptional beauty or singular ugliness; if we ornament some of them, as with repetitive black painted stripes on the floor, so that the similitude may be more distinct to us; or if we somehow disfigure them, as by introducing one stained with blood or soiled with mud and smeared with red paint, so that its form is more striking, or by assigning certain comic effects to our voodles, for that, too, will ensure our remembering them more readily "

Affected, once again, by the task of facilitating a certain order in produced material(s), Sam Renseiw attempts to visualize the striped outlays for (arte)facts with some in-depth probes of adjacent spaces.
