The Drip Painter

 Jackson Pollock (1912 - 1956) The Deep (La Profondeur) 1953

What if Pollock had reversed the challenge? 

What if instead of making art without thinking, he said, 

'You know what? I can't paint anything, unless I know exactly why I'm doing it.' 

What would have happened? 

He never would have made a single mark. 

The challenge is not to act automatically. 

It's to find an action that is not automatic. 

From painting, 

                    to breathing,

                               to talking, 

                    to fucking.  

To falling in love.
