This week I created some prints onto tracing paper from a collage I had made in my sketch book of vitiligo and acne images. From this I created further collages using the print pattern into six illustrations experimenting with abstract forms on the body in ink. I feel this worked really well by putting it on the body because it gave me the idea of doing more and then developing them.

From this I chosen to research and find images of stretch marks and skin pigmentation examples to find images to use through my next stage.

Having completed these illustrations, I progressed this on by creating a larger pattern repeat and overlaying this across a selection of images in collage form of the skin stretch marks I had chosen from my research.

With all of these prints I had the idea that I could project them on to the human body to see what shapes would stand out and then I thought I could use them to start creating garment shapes and collaging with them. I feel this really worked well with my project as it really allowed me to start experimenting but on the other hand I feel like I could of done the projecting in the evening so the stood out more on the body.
