This series began very impulsively. I began exploring the effect of photographing paint layered over the skin, and something very meaningless began to express a great deal about what was passing through my mind at the time. A series that began as an exploration of color vs. black and white, composition, and visual texture became a dynamic journey for me about the body. Perhaps being influenced by my previous back project and the ideas dealing with the body as a record of life events, I began to see these paint markings on the skin as a record as well. The images began to speak of inner turmoil and guilt, as well as peace and love. This series, like many of the other projects I have explored, I feel, remains unfinished.
