Usually the painter has full control over the placing and quality of every mark and element in their work. This instead was creation in a straight jacket. The artist's task was to arrange a piece that worked with the discarded offcuts that were available. Apart from the piece in the bottom left corner that didn't 'look right', there was no overpainting. Given the very unpromising source material, the result has a satisfying coherence as an aesthetic system, which is what paintings are fundamentally.
