The end result of this painting project was in some ways successful. I produced 8 paintings that are kind of interesting, but the real success for me is not so much in the final images but in the body of work and the research that went into producing it. The project has pushed me further into process and technology-based research, whilst provoking a dialogue with unpredictability, aleatory and the arbitrary.
