Raw 2


This is one of the outcomes of my body painting. I used thick layers of acrylic paint to produce this painting, using no other tools aside from my hands and elbows. This painting has sparked much interest, due to the fact that its content seems to resonate differently with each who observes it. For some, it provokes a reaction of grotesque, as a result of the colours resembling meat. For others, the vibrant reds and yellows resemble volcanic matter. It is most fascinating to record the differing reactions towards this painting, and what memories are associated with its content. This in turn encapsulates my exploration of making the intangible tangible; not only emotion but also memories.
