Experimenting LED lighting

The idea for this experiment was going off of my aquarium images, with the colours and using a physical being or living material and other mediums.

I have always wanted to use a person or living body for some sort of development within my artworks and practice. The idea of using a body involves you having to be a part of the work being created, and i think the involvement whether it be between the artist and artwork or the audience and artwork, is interesting to see the interaction between them and the Reponses. But also using a person gives off the idea that the persons is also then, a part of the final artwork piece itself.

I dont often use bright colours through my practice, but i has been a target to at least try using it in my development and experimentation somewhere.

I think, that the process of these images where I have painted the outlining of my own veins on top of my skin, exposing the patterns was quite interesting. However, i feel that if i were to use another person, i would find that more interesting and accurate, because painting on myself was hard to keep my posture steady. However, because I’m quite pale toned, it was interesting for me to be able to study my body more.

However, for now I don’t think that I will be using LED lighting and the physical body at the moment. And because of the uncertainty of covid, it will prove to be difficult to have the right space and possibly to have a model of some kind to help with my study of the human body and mapping these sorts of features.
