I have always really loved Jackson Pollock paintings, for the fact that to each person they mean something slightly different and because even though it looks random, every splash of color seems deliberate. Knowing more about Pollock has allowed me to see this painting in new light. Knowing that he was binge drinking at the time of this painting, makes me interpret and think of the painting as chaos, crudely stitched into submission. It makes me feel that life can sometimes be a mess but we get through it anyway. I think this painting is slightly different to other works made by Pollock because unlike other Jackson Pollock work the viewer focuses on the dark blue lines that run throughout the piece.  I also really like how even that it uses light colors, which can be seen especially around the borders, the piece is still seems slightly dark to me.
