Visual Indeterminacy Art


I found some artists who focus on using Indeterminacy as a way to process their art. I find abstractism to be a difficult subject for me to grasp a lot of the time when it comes down to my own process with my work. Being very detail oriented and planned out is one my strong traits but when I'm challenged to examine the very aspect of randomness, Indeterminacy and Chance; my mind has a hard time wrapping itself around these things. I consider myself an artist, and many see artists as free flowing and just going with things as they are, but I know, myself in terms of my need to order things in my life a certain way and this is a good challenge for me. In terms of the artists I found, one that stuck out from this particular art piece is "Succulus" by Robert Pepperell. His findings in his article found on this link helped me a lot in terms of trying to understand visual indeterminacy and chance. The allowing of letting go and seeing what comes to mind is very post-modern and open ended but it also allows one's mind to flow to the next ideas. His piece, "Succulus" is very beautiful but hard to distinguish when it comes to it's subject and actual real form, it becomes so random but familiar all at once.
