Repost from @journeywiththepkd Instagram With so much happening at once, the mind forgets that there was a method to the madness, because somehow it’s not just madness; it screams all is well and will be well at the same time, #chaos & #order captured in such perfect balance.😌 Pollock’s #number1 in person is simply remarkable. Timelessly abstract, and incredibly mesmerizing, this unrepeatable masterpiece is a demonstration of a confidence in #expression and #individuality that is truly astounding. The picture of this doesn’t do justice to what it’s like standing in its presence. Jackson didn’t live a normal life with ease by any stretch of the imagination, but his gift to the world was a sense of connecting to the mystery that lies beyond our rational selves.
