This one also has a lot of drip action over and under the forms.

this one is like the undersea world of tim noonan's imagination....although this painting is drippy, it is also very controlled...a lot of the forms even use white and black to accentuate them...plus you play around with that bordering device business which is very architectural (it sort of makes a painterly statement - I'm flattening the picture plane by using a bordering device)....drippy, but neat, not messy.
I think about control sometimes when I'm painting, At some point or another, I often allow myself the freedom to lose control of my painting, be irrational, get messy and so on. It takes me to places I wouldn't otherwise be able to get to, and that's an important value for me in my work. In recent years, particulary, I've often tried to surf the edge between a painting and a pile of paint.
But then, my process is way different. I think about painting in terms of sessions during which I apply different kinds of changes to my paintings. Sometimes I think of them like a forest floor. There are bugs and leaves and snakes and sticks and mud and stuff composts together and rots and transforms.....om every new session, I apply another layer of ideas, some good, some bad, some interesting but misguided, and so on. The life of the painting emerges from this process.
That's interesting alright. Like purposely getting off the path in the forest you have to navigate according to the rules of the terrain and what lies ahead is a mystery, but you need to get there anyway. Likewise losing control of preconceived notions of paint and at some point letting the painting negotiate some moves: getting messy and so forth and winding up somewhere else' like the edge. One form tells another or implies certain reactions, just keep an equilibrium happening and your surfing. I think Shadbolt talked a bit about this when he referred to the act of painting. Still there are some limits, I have yet to paint with a broom or roller, but who knows.
