I like the idea of controlling a process but not an outcome.
Paint can be applied to a surface in a controlled way but tilt, move, shake or screw up the paper and the outcome is uncontrollable.
Paper was placed at the bottom of a staircase then paint filled balls of paper were dropped from the top floor, at the point of impact an uncontrolled image was instantly produced.
Paint was dripped onto dark paper which was tilted and moved in a controlled way but the exact path, spread and puddling of the liquid is beyond control. This final painting resembles the outline of a roses petals, again something that can be planted and pruned with some level of control but the shape of each petal can never actually be controlled.
I like these paintings as experimental prints but need to concentrate on a process and make something more 'real' in relation to my own work.
