colour samples
i think the pigments taken out of the stretch marks is a strong idea and i could extend that idea,
The hues of pink has a very commercial aesthetic, together with the pigments origins i think it becomes some what funny.
the colours play on this commercial aesthetics of pop culture/ mainstream. within the mainstream, the idea of the stretch marks are labeled as undesirable, unattractive etc. Especially when its on a womens body. we have conditioned to hide these marks on our body instead of loving, embracing, accepting them
soooooo the colours i pull will act as paint swatches/ lipstick colours.
also references *insert art here*

Im also worried about the marks looking phallic

body and context
What do i reveal and what do i conceal?
take the marks out of the body context and leave them to their own device, to stand alone, is their natural shape and colour, and see the reaction
Using photoshop, eliminate the body.

full frames on body and paint. this i stewards the end when i started to smear and cover my whole torso with this purple acrylic paint.
so by now, the paint is half drying, half wet, and my bodies texture is reacting with the paint
(this frame is upside down)

ideas
i really like the close ups of the starch marks... the close up, out of the bodily context can bee seen as something else, so I'm wondering if i can isolate images of stretch marks to make them into beautiful abstract, minimalist, artworks- aka socially acceptable

the action of imprinted my body onto the material
close ups of comparing textures raw/ naked body vs painted body vs painted material
what is the canvas? whats making the mark? the movement of both body and fabric
