  1. The arrangements of the squares are random, and the squares themselves are not painted. Instead, this collage was created by randomly giving numbers to colors that were then placed on a preassigned penciled grid. The squares were cut from commerical adhesive-backed colored papers, and pasted down. While it looks as though a great deal of planning went into it, Kelly's approach is founded on pure chance.
