Motherboard

These pieces developed through experimentation with a thick black gloss paint that would usually be used for household purposes. The technique I use is to pick up the paint with the end of a stick and let it drip onto the paper, then move the stick to points on a grid, letting the paint spread and stretch. It is a kind of controlled dripping technique.

I liked the motherboard idea when coming up with a title. A computer motherboard is the central controlling area for any computer, something that has now become ubiquitous in our lives. It is the mother of all the components attached to it.
