fling paint

normally i don’t like to explain how my art is made or discuss what it is or means. However, sometimes i feel a strong urge to write down an idea on what i think my art is at a given moment. this is one of those moments 2:05 AM 11/19/2009. tomorrow when i wake up what i write here will feel more like BS than anything else. I have just watched several YouTube videos on artists working in their studios. These were pollock, Appel, several others. they are the paint flingers for want of a better description. For the most part they all worked very quickly; establishing a completion of the artist/painting connection in a short period of time.

The paint flingers-

we all can fling paint. It should look anonymous. It doesn’t. No matter how hard we try, we cannot takeout the personality of the maker of the fling. This is true because the flinger has to make choices during the flinging process. These choices relate to the flingers zen.

…….from an automatist position, the fling still is filtered through the artists complex unique nervous piping and mind connections to this piping.

…….rhythm and speed is important to fling painting. also an element attached directly to the artists complex unique nervous piping and mind connections to this piping.

…….for me time plays a big role. It determines the depth of my connection to my unique nervous piping and mind connections to this piping. Time and its relationship to how long the connection lasts during a construction session. Slow connections at times will distract me to a point where the connection/s get lost. The construction session then is lost. Not wasted. Just lost. Maybe some form of reconstruction will take place the next construction period.
