Jackson Pollock is one of the artists I take inspiration from. I enjoy his out look on how art should be created with little thought but more emotions and feelings. It was important for him to work on the flattest surface possible so instead of working on a traditional stretch canvas he worked on the floor and instead of a primed canvas he used un-primed so that the paint could soak in deeper and become even flatter. The reason he inspires me is because I find myself being too organized and too structured. I like the unplanned, unstructured work that doesn't represent any one thing but instead conveys a emotion. Even though he was a painter I still think there are things I can take away and use in my metals projects as inspiration.
