[Pelicans] and the Drip
Every so often while working on a long-term project, my mind begins to wander. These mini-portfolios are the result of me entertaining those thoughts. This work exists for fun, and because I felt like it. They are my creative tangents.
This tangent is the result of watching brown pelicans while thinking about the paintings of Jackson Pollock and the writing of Arthur C. Danto.
"The drips affirmed that [poop] has an expressive life of its own, that it is not a passive paste to be moved where the [bird] wants it to be moved but possesses a fluid energy over which the [bird] endeavors to exercise control. The act of [pooping] then is like a match between two opposed wills, like the act of taming tigers."
