Meticulous
There are some types of works that are created through repetitive motions over and over again, and that is what makes them special. Currently I'm working on a project that has to do with writing down my emotions throughout the day every time I remember. Eventually I will print them on things that I will wear. The beauty of things like this comes from the impact over time as an accumulation.
A beautiful work that I've seen like this recently is a work by Karina Smigla-Bobinski. It's a kinetic drawing sculpture- a helium ballon with writing implements on it that bumps along a room for a set period of time.

The mark-making that happens over time is amazing.
Another accumulation piece that I love is quite a lot older, but no less awesome- Library by Trong G. Nguyan. In this piece he has written entire chapters of books word for word on grains of rice as a re-interpretation of the library. Talk about making words sacred.
And one more that I just found- Plamen Ignatov spent 16 years of his life and 6 million matches creating this replica of Rila Monastery. Although I'm not in love with the object, this man's obsession over it makes me happy. I can't imagine having that attention span.
