When Piet Mondrian created his red, blue, and yellow compositions, he did so with the concept that by creating nonrepresentational, perfect mathematical forms and harmonies, he was able to depict true reality better than anyone who preceded him. In order to create these paintings, ideally, he was required to have perfect control, and perfect mathematical logic, every moment the paint hit canvas.
I want to approach creating true reality in the exact opposite way. I think that by having absolutely no control, it is possible to achieve reality in the same way that Mondrian was able to. With no control, perfect, mathematical, yet organic forms can be made. These forms, I think, not only can represent reality itself, but can begin to take on the appearance of familiar forms such as faces, bodies and landscapes. Something about perception of these forms should be said here but that would be an entirely different conversation.
