I can’t help thinking of Jackson Pollock, who poured, splattered and lashed the canvass with strings of paint. His process was about snaring not only a vision, but the moment the vision occurred to him. The paint becomes a net cast around something too fast to be caught. The bare spaces between the net’s strands are as significant as the strands themselves because they hint at what can’t be painted, can’t be described.
