Wake me up when we get there...

Undeterred by the unlikelihood of a successful outcome, Ray Cabarga approaches each aleatoric exploration with confidence and enthusiasm. Nine out of ten times his efforts are fruitless, but that tenth time makes it all worthwhile. When he finally does achieve an accidental masterpiece, he carefully prepares the “oozing,” as he calls it, for the second phase of the process. After buying a new set of ultra-fine permanent markers he waits for the spirit to move him, at which time he will start from one end and work his way across the painting over the course of three to four weeks. Aided by his Zen meditation training he works in a trance-like state, intentionally clearing his mind of conscious preconception, letting the painting guide his hand. After each session he will assess the work only to decide whether it’s finished or not. The final result is an "inked oozing". Later, he’ll varnish and sign the work often with little or no recollection of having drawn most of what appears there. In this way Cabarga surpasses his own creative abilities and employs the assistance of chance and the higher intelligence of the universe.
