Paint like Pollock

After watching a short film on the work of Jackson Pollock, I was inspired to try my own abstract expressionist piece. I filled nitrile gloves (like latex gloves) with paint and charged them with compressed air until they exploded paint all over the canvas. I was pleased with the way the high pressure air finely atomized the paint in the background, and left large streaking drops in the foreground. It has a real sense of depth this way. I have a bit of a Bauhaus thing running through my head right now; hence the primary colors and black geometric shape. Doing a painting like this is far less calculating than custom furniture design, but gives the same hands on creative outlet. Very satisfying.

I was recently advised to have a look at your website and body of work. Well I have been completely blown away, it is all quite simply outstanding artisan design and the website so very suave. Bron & I are contemplating what we can commission you to do for us, maybe you could send us joinery piece jigsaw puzzle with an instruction manual to Australia!
