Temporary Project - Secondary Research (18/10/22)
Yesterday i did a workshop on printmaking. Following on from that I am looking at body printing this week. Body printing is a temporal performance art that captures a portrait of the body at that moment in time (temprary)
One body print artist that I am inspired by is Elizabeth Walden. Walden, inspired by David Hammons (another body print artist I will look into) started body printing in 2013. She puts vegetable oil mixed with pigments on her body, makes a print, then she uses that print as a basis or a landmark for her landscape artworks.

By nature some of her artworks are abstract or semi-representational .
I love Walden's use of colour and layering through printing. I can't wait to start creating body prints like these this week!
