Today I conducted an experiment painting on a very large scale in a variety of uncomfortable/restricted manners. I have included a video and photos, and I am excited to start cutting the fabric tomorrow.
What I noticed is a clear difference in the types of marks made. For example, the marks of the fabric on the wall had a very different direction and pressure sensitivity than the marks on the floor.
Also, I found it so hard to paint with some of these poses. What created the most discomfort was:
- a limited field of view
- not being able to see my limbs while painting
- having to be bent into uncomfortable positions
- having to balance on one limb
- having to use my toes
Going to research: Jackson Pollock; Uncomfortable ways to cut fabric; straight jackets
