Personification of canvas

I’ve experienced a new, weird awareness of a power dynamic between the body and the canvas… I didn’t think about it until I watched video of the working process. I actually feel sorry for the canvas as it gets grabbed, kicked, soiled, and left crumpled. I am surprised by this personification of the painted object.
