"What THE EDGE saw ..."

recent visit to Milwaukee Art Museum, specifically for a show called

50 Paintings

I spent some time considering the exposed canvas edges of several unframed entrants, wondering if these drips, drabs, dabs and washes and smudges are intentional, accidental, accidentally intentional.

Are these resting places during the creative process? Are these secrets whispered into the ears of the paintings by the paint themselves? Are these extra paintings? Are these dumb mistakes and the artist would be pissed off that you would even point them out? Is this the peek behind the curtain where you find an emperor wearing new clothes? Is this what it feels like to fall off the edge of a flat world?
