There is something intriguing about antique communication devices. They are often really beautiful objects that play no part in our modern world. I purchased this phone on eBay because I wanted to use it as a subject! I was also experiementing with destruction. I often use squeegees and unusual brushes to create marks that I find beautiful. This time I recklessly attached the painting with liquids before it had dried. The results speak of chaos, I thought some of it was pretty interesting looking. I have not been pouring liquid on my wet paintings as of late but like the subject itself I may revisit.
