Investigation into repetitive writing techniques using carbon paper.
I have become interested in using used carbon paper to create 'blind' text based drawings. By laying the carbon paper over the cartridge paper, I am unable to clearly see where i am making marks, thus creating a varied amount of pressure of carbon. When viewed at a distance, the depth of marks creates an undulating landscape, but it is not until the viewer looks more closely that the text is revealed.
I have repeated 'It's only words' in my normal cursive handwriting, highlighting my interest in repetition.
