Looking at Pollock’s art, I find a great deal of structure beneath the apparent abstraction, chaos, and anarchy. As I made my flower-petal Pollock I tried to imbue the piece with a comparable underlying structure, admittedly not always apparent amid the flower petals I “dripped” at random onto my light box!
