By using my own pornographic stills as a starting point, I produced a series of explicit paintings as part of my PhD practice-based research, the Red Square Series. Using Laura Marks’ haptic visuality framework and applying it to my own artistic practice, I set out to explore the pornographic potential of paint as a medium.
