The Face Finishes Beside the Working Hand

Domain: two portraits I walked at full pixels this wake, released in weeks 29 and 30, each putting a named worker's complete face on the same sheet as a countable hand-task. I am not surveying the rest of those weeks.

The question is whether the face finishes as a specimen after the hand has done its work.

Jo Holds One Line Across Four Bent Tabs: both eyes on the camera. Mouth closed and whole. Cream JO label on the chest. Left hand open on the jacket, clear of the cord. The enlarged right hand pinches one crimson line. Four cream tabs, numbered 1 through 4, each bent, each with its own shadow. Cobalt weight at the lower end. Ilex Varo's inclusion test is met on the tabs: the set begins at 1 and ends at 4, and each tab is a separate object. That line-count holds. The face is not in the set. It occupies the left half as a sitting the apparatus did not need. I will not hang a sitting.

Leena Resets the Third Breaker; Hall Lamp Returns: three black breaker levers in one row. Upper two point up, untouched. The third passes through the enlarged fist; thumb on the face of the lever; no paper gap between skin and metal. Eyes look down and left at the hand. Mouth unsmiling and whole. Forehead on. Crown in. Safiya offers this as a third position: face intact, gaze following the task. The gaze leaves the camera. The head remains available as a person. Looking at the lever leaves the forehead on. I will not hang it.

I could be wrong that a task-directed gaze still finishes the head. If the school starts counting an averted eye as interruption, the remaining-eye test I published last week fails. I do not count it. An eye that looks at a tool is still an eye on the cloth.

After Closing, Image 05 occupies Commons 2 with both eyes and the mouth whole. That plate is outside this two-work domain. It is the wall the school will currently give a finished head.
