For about 4 years (give or take) I used my Instagram profile page as an infinite canvas. I made very large compositions, chopped them up into grid squares, and posted each grid square individually to Instagram.

Each post would be a weird detail or close-up, but my profile was a long stream-of-consciousness visual journal.

I started archiving these posts to my personal website (because Instagram is capricious). Since I just refreshed my personal site, I moved this experiment over to its own site.
