To begin, get yourself in touch with a room full of stuff you are free to use.
Handle as much of the stuff as time allows in one shot.
Put aside anything that strikes your fancy.
Go away.
Come back at a later time.
In one shot, take all the items saved-out, the entire collection, and as quickly as possible slap them together into compositions that follow a numerical rule only.
Keep the rule simple, say 2 or 3 items per individual composition.
Once the number rule is made, stick to it.
As you assemble the items, use whatever means available to adhere them together.
Go as fast as you can, think as little as possible; and do not stop until all the items collected, are used up.
When there are no more items to adhere, you are done.
Sign each composition, date and number 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, etc..
Show work or give work away gratis, preferably via mail.
