To start of my exploration of this brief I have looked at skin and how it responds through different mediums. To accomplish this I painted my skin with different mediums such as graphite,oil, lotion, soup and printing inc. I would mix the graphite with the oil, for example, apply it to my body and print with my body. the medium that by far worked the best was the printing inc. I applied this to my chest, neck and back, then laying down on the paper to get the print. what I found most interesting about this was how accurately this medium picked up all the tiny little hairs and pours in my skin.
