Further studying

On exploring more of myself/my art - I discovered areas I had not previously considered to explore. Areas I could expand and refine to create pieces that reflect my themes but also create experiences for the audience.
My writing will be included in my project as an expression of the unconscious and to emphasise elements of the human condition such as trauma and healing, separation and togetherness.
I want to explore the use of photography in my work possibly - even just mainly for documentation to see if it could work as a developing piece to project onto my pieces or to combine with my paintings.
The techniques I mainly focus on in painting is the excessive application of paint which I allow to half-dry then scrape off and add extra on afterwards. Movement of the paint is important in my work, the turbulent distribution of pattern and colour helps to form an atmosphere with my pieces and the textures formed express both organic elements as well as base layer to add more mediums on top.
The creation of layering is important to my work - the development of each layer seals in colours and markings from the last. The "human touch" is something I plan to create in my work - the roughness, the mistakes and errors, the "mess" that is created when people are involved. Artists such as Francis Bacon inspire my creation of this theme because of this involvement of human emotion in his pieces.
When using other mediums I am interested in the application of pastel over the top of paint because of the marking that can be created over thick oil paint textures. I also am interested in using thread in my work combined with either acrylic paint or oil - the thread will be pulled taunt to divide or "damage" particular sections of my work.
The structure of my pieces is often random, sometimes vaguely planned but often spontaneous. I want to refine my structuring techniques and work more on creating plans and more definition. I plan to do lots of developmental pieces on a smaller scale to work out what sort of areas of the human condition I want to express the most. I plan to create large scale pieces eventually towards the end of the project - I want majestic, expressive, large pieces that can be used to create an effect on the audience.
