O&#8217;Brien.\u00a0 It&#8217;s full of ways to incorporate chance and natural phenomena into visual arts and crafts.\u00a0 Just the Table of Contents makes me feel inspired, so I&#8217;ll share it here:<\/p>\n<p>Tree Forms:\u00a0 trunks and branches formed by the movement of pigments and liquids<\/p>\n<p>Cracks and crackle:\u00a0 layers in tension<\/p>\n<p>Crawl:\u00a0 rejection of paint by an incompatible surface<\/p>\n<p>Drip, Dribble, Drop:\u00a0 Pollock&#8217;s discovery and random patterns<\/p>\n<p>Splash and Run:\u00a0 designs formed by vigorous impact and gravity<\/p>\n<p>Flow and Swirl:\u00a0 &#8220;marble effect&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wrinkles and Folds:\u00a0 folding and bending of surfaces<\/p>\n<p>Flowers:\u00a0 patterns formed by drops of pigment on a coated surface<\/p>\n<p><a

psychoanalytic ink blots<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cymatics.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hans Jenny&#8217;s Cymatics<\/a> are among the well-known examples of this kind of thing in recent culture, but scenic painters, fabric artists, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.valsparglobal.com\/val\/resident\/se_techniques.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">faux-finish<\/a> decorators and craftsmen have always used these methods.\u00a0 It is impossible to control the outcome tightly, but letting go of such control allows the magic of physics to impart its inimitable majesty.<\/p>\n<p>For much of my own work the human body has been my playground, and I&#8217;ve used some of these techniques to create textural effects in body painting.\u00a0 In this post I&#8217;ll share several examples.<\/p>\n<div

of the person who is painted.\u00a0 Being painted is often experienced as a bodily transformation, an external experience of the skin that reflects or enables an internal shift of consciousness.\u00a0 This ritual aspect underlies the importance of body art in shamanic and theatrical performance.\u00a0 The stark white body paint associated with <a href=\"http:\/\/home.earthlink.net\/~bdenatale\/AboutButoh.html\" target=\"_blank\">butoh<\/a> dance originated with butoh progenitor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3xYsO7OpQkQ\" target=\"_blank\">Tatsumi Hijikata<\/a>&#8216;s experimentation with using plaster on his dancers&#8217; bodies.\u00a0 He wished to intensify their movement by making them conscious of the entire expanse of their skin through tightness and discomfort.\u00a0 Oil, clay, powders and cracked tempera on the skin are tactile sensations that may be experienced as being one with earth or finding one&#8217;s wild animal nature.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1036\" style=\"width: 413px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
