While researching, I came across these “Tall Paintings” Psychedelic art by Holton Rower. I love the on purpose randomness that these painters have created. Though there is not much to them mechanically except what looks like wood stacked and cups of paint,. Through experimenting they have learned how much paint of each color in order to get their desired affects. The outcome of these paintings creates these stacks of paint dripped from one surface to the one beneath, they end up amazing colorful patterns.Here is the video if you want to watch them create these paintings http://www.boreme.com/posting.php?id=28616

As for my project, I have decided to take the recommendation of creating furniture. I am recreating the chair in my room out of the clothes that usually end up living on it. If time and clothing permit I will also make a rug out of the clothes as well basically recreating the surfaces these clothes live on other than my closet. Pictures to come.

  2. The video of how they do that painting is amazing, I loved watching the paint move down the box that they were pouring it on. This is good inspiration for Sheri's capstone project too! I also thought it was funny that they had the paint in coffee cups. I can't wait to see how your capstone project turns out!

  7. I can't imagine how long that takes to dry. Knowing nothing about paints I was surprised that they didn't mix more. Awesome!

  13. Am I the only one amused by the fact that they keep the paint in coffee cups?

    I almost like the paintings better as a performance instead of a finished product.
