Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome of my body painting. I was able to explore an angle of the abstract which I had never had the confidence to do so before, as well as experiment with a range of new materials and combinations, such as paint and glue. Upon photographing the collection as a body, I quite liked the juxtaposition of certain colours and textures, and thus I may consider presenting the pieces as one. However, I do feel that some of the paintings speak for themselves, and need no contrast.
A comment on the collection which has provoked much thought, is my decision to leave the background of the canvases raw and unpainted. Upon reflection, I feel that I would like to produce a further few pieces where I use identically sized canvases, and have painted the background a plain colour. My thought behind this is that the wild and chaotic mark making would contrast against the order of the canvases.
