'Modern Dilemma' in process by C.T. Rasmuss

I'm not so sure as to what the actual "Dilemma" was in Stella's 'Jasper's Dilemma'; but I've come to realize, that I know in my current 'work in process-Modern Dilemma', that he may have been stuck by certain rules, he perhaps wouldn't allow himself to break(as I found myself).

Just a theory, but for instance if Stella pre-set rules such as: Dark Gray = Dark hue of Red & Light Gray = Light Red, Medium Gray = Medium Red, and so on for all other colors(3 primary/3 secondary).  He then would have either started with either the Grisaille side or poly-chromatic side; with this set rule, and others alike, not to be broken.  Given that he also finished one side 1st then the other(not working both sides simultaneously), as you can see that I have done in my Lucid Mosaic seen here, I started with Grisaille and finished to full completion, I'm currently working the poly-chromatic.^ 

Point being, after finishing my Grisaille side 1st, I then of course started with the corresponding right poly-chromatic side, but after trying to match up color with the gray-scale on the left, finished side, as Stella had done; I realized the "Dilemma": Quantitative -Grisaille vs. Qualitative color values, which I learned after reading more on Frank Stella, this was the case.

But instead of fighting it and sticking to my guns, I am able to look into the past, and learn from these two masters of their craft, being, Jasper Johns and Frank Stella; I searched for a solution, and believe I have found one.

The Solution??

Stay tuned to find out, as it is just theory now and may change;) Right now it's in Faith's hands..
