I have been randomising the process of abstraction by sacrificing control in order to create something unexpected. This is proving unsuccessful at present however, as the inputs need moderating or they simply don’t work. I had presumed that if I was in control of the elements of the piece, then they would be controlled and therefore lack sublime quality, however I now see that as false. It is the output which must be sublime rather than the process itself. The inputs are the equivalent of paint strokes; many are needed to create the work, however the final painting is what provides the overall impression. This does mean I need to reassess my method of abstraction.
