Splatter; a plausible story

Un-moored, we cycle between raw visual delight and our inescapable compulsion to find patterns, explanations or meanings. As evidenced below, the possible narratives are infinite.

The Whole Story in Text

Splat, splat, splat
Thin pen or fatter splatter

from mind to hand to brush to page
from arm to fingers to pen
-where does a stroke begin

somewhere deeper -nowhere near
not in the now – not in the here
what does it matter?

Splat Splat
Scumble scrape and splatter

You think it’s you – you think it’s paint
You think, you think, you think…. You think!
The mark begins before your birth
– before the sun before the earth
It passes through you – it passes through me,

through eyes and eyes and eyes and eyes
