Even the drips will never be completely uncontrolled I place them and I give them a sense of direction, I to get the paper to balance evenly. This reminds me of my research about OCD, it appears that I have been working in a very similar way. I think that this is something that I should continue to do and research, but as I continue to make my work I need to pay more attention to how I'm making the work and this might give me a indircation to why i'm doing it.

Putting my work into context
Since playing with the inks and then adding the circles I have realised that my work is very much about trying to control a situation. I am creating these large splash marks and then adding the circles subconsciously until i feel that I've controlled the situation enough, until I am personally happy with it. I think that i have been doing this through out the project. I have taken inspiration from artists that suffer from mental illness, but I have come to realise that I am working in a very similar way to these artists.
