At some point painting becomes about going from an authentic response to what’s not yet on the canvas (raw materials, tools, state of mind, state of world, everything etc) to an authentic response to what IS on the canvas that has become its own world. That’s not necessarily an aesthetic consideration or painting for effect, but an interaction as free from idea as is possible. Risky business inviting catastrophe.
