I wanted to then develop my visual imagery into a resource that I (or other design teams) could use for initial influential trend indication. This will take the form of a trend book that will be usefully available to understand the tone and mood of the body of work.
I reflected on my list of words and verbs, which was something that I found useful as it meant that I could generate visual imagery that was not immediately (and obviously) associated with the theme of surgical modification and enhancement. I decided to start to consider ways that the skin could be covered, altered and modified with something that is obviously artificial and synthetic. I opted for using the hand as the subject and used a series of hyper-intense paints to cover the skin, using fluid and free moving liquid.The natural movement of the fluid is juxtaposed with the super-bright artificiality of the paint. The turquoise blues, lime greens and cool greys contrast well against the more soft flesh tones of the skin.
