Continuing this research the time to wash off the paint and finish this endeavour my daughter suggested continuing the process by photographing me whilst attempting to remove the paint in the bath, I have to admit I was not overly happy in doing this, however it did seem like a natural conclusion to this experiment.    

Continuing to study to work of Franko B he wrote a text called ‘Untouchable’ and I decided to do the same, in doing this I have recorded my feelings, and everything that I associated with the experience, this created a heightened awareness of the whole experience, the positive and negative aspects, as well as the mundane and the bizarre.
