In response to Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock, who notably took the canvas off the wall and gesturally painted it on the floor, I decided to put the canvas back on the wall, but invert myself and paint with my feet, inviting a dialogue of what it means to be a woman making art, and the norms that can be turned on their heads. I included Helen Frankenthaler, a female Abstract Expressionist Artist, in the conversation, emulating her painting "Mountains and Sea" as a starting point for my composition and color choices.
