[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."
-Arthur C. Danto, "Pollock and the Drip", January 1999
