As part of my exploration of Object and Antimatter, I decided to play with the idea of the body as an artistic material in a world full of materialism, almost like a restoration back to the natural state of expression. In addition, I wanted to explore making the intangible, such as emotion, tangible, thus each piece I produced was emotionally charged; emotions dictated the mark making. Above are a few shots of the results, I have yet to add the outcome of the painting. As I was painting, I found the marks and colours of the paint on my body to be most fascinating, and thus I went forth to take a series of photographs. Although the paint is not on a conventional canvas, it is on my body, which ties well with my exploration of the body as a material. Moreover, this particular experiment was an exercise for me to loosen my mark making and let myself be free from a conscious state of mind. These particular photographs feature black and white acrylic paint.
