Starting with the Albers Erasure with Line exercise, I covered the board with shapes that roughly fit the shapes I had drawn in red-coloured pencil. After the first few papers, I couldn't really see much of the lines I had drawn so I kept layering irregular shapes of coloured-paper until I wanted to use other mediums like paint and markers. This was the main inspiration for my final work for my 2D Part A, especially with the use of multiple mediums and the chaotic, organic nature of the mark making. I would definitely like to do more collaging later on, but with more planning and inspiration.

I usually don't do self-portraits because of the daunting fact that the final work is supposed to be Me. So since this would most likely be the only time in a while that I would do a self-portrait, I went all out. I wanted the vibe to be gory and unnerving. I like the idea of conjoined twins and gore is something I've always been interested in - experimenting with different anatomies and organs is something that I want to look into.

Digitalising works is very familiar to me - I love tampering with images and video to transform them into something that is very clearly only able to be replicated digitally. Though I wanted to retain some of the original painting, especially in the transparency in the intestines coming out of the arm at the bottom; Photoshopping the image allowed me to change the saturation and contrast of the work.

Being able to make multiple iterations of the same work is something I'll always <3 about digital art.
