I was thirty-five years old when number thirty-five came up. This made me think of Rembrandt, and the self-portraits he painted throughout his life. I prepared myself a Rembrandt palette, right down to grinding charcoal into white paint to make blue, then I looked up "self portrait at thirty-five" and copied the background. The lines are "self portrait" in barcode. Some lines are thin and carefully painted, like Rebrandt's early work, others are heavy impasto, the way he painted later in his life. This is meant to refer to the passing of time.
