With shades of Jackson Pollack


My latest experiments in paper making have extended to throwing dyes onto a sheet while still in the mold. The result suggests shades of Jackson Pollack. The sheet size is 20" x 24".

The picture below shows the dyed sheet drying and alongside is one of my experiments of casting paper pulp in a mold. In this case the rear of a life-size torso. 




Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) was a leading figure in the Abstract Expressionist movement. His technique centered around throwing paint on canvas.
