Yes
You would to be rather anal to keep working on a project like that over many years..
 
Or commited. And to be fair it wasn't until 40 years after his first attempt that he tried it again.

I would be bored out of my mind by the second year doing such repetitive photographs.
But they are certainly well done
Such traces are hardly new or unusual, nor do they now demonstrate or have a useful purpose.
they are not so much artistic as fascinating when first seen. And I saw them first some 65 years ago.

To keep doing them time after time, would seem to require a peristance verging on the strange.
They have a remarkable resemblance to the pin and thread work so loved in the 70's
 
Well, I find them fascinating and artistic and I admire the skill and time that has gone into creating them.
Fact is that every genre of photography has been done before and done to death and anyone who concentrates on any of them too much could be said to exhibit strange tendencies. To my eye these are unusual and interesting and all the more so for being made on large format film.
You are of course perfectly entitled to your opinion and I will defend to the death your right to hold those outdated and downright wrong opinions.:D​

I had a spirograph, spent hours making intricate and beautiful patterns, well I thought they were until I found an old envelope at my Mum's a few years ago...mainly splotchy, badly drawn squiggles. :D

I found my Spirograph in a box at my Mum's when I cleared out her place a couple of years ago, the box was full of similar squiggles :lol:
 
Always one isn't there!

I think they're rather impressive. The technical aspects he's had to overcome are no small feet it seems, and the final images are excellent.

@Woodsy

I'm not sure why not having small feet would be a problem... :D
 
Ah, the traditional cure for manflu... a bottle of good Scotch and a whole onion....
