About This Video
The process of painting is as important as the final result; abstract paintings could be seen as snapshots of the unconscious mind, documents of an inner state.
In this short film what happens was expected but at the same time a surprise. The only discernable difference to the situation at that moment was that I had literally just sung to myself the Pink Floyd line; "You've got to strike when the moment is right without thinking" - this is the moment where internal logic is confronted and eventually annihilated, what is left is process and the contingency. Breaking through the illusion of the divided self to make art can be dramatic and painful for me, like life, and this is reflected in this painting.
