Thank you, Natasha, for taking the time to share some of your experiences.
Reading your words inspires me to take a fresh look at Pollock's paintings.

Pollock's name is associated with the introduction of the All-over style of
painting which avoids any points of emphasis or identifiable parts within
the whole canvas and therefore abandons the traditional idea of composition
in terms of relations among parts. The design of his painting had no
relation to the shape or size of the canvas -- indeed in the finished work
the canvas was sometimes docked or trimmed to suit the image. All these
characteristics were important for the new American painting which matured
in the late 1940s and early 1950s
