The ”Still Life” type images which utilise Alex’s lines and graphite drawing were a result of organic trial and error. I discovered that tracing paper worked well with Alex’s graphite marks, as it has both obvious similarities and differences with her work. The photographs intentionally bring out more mark-making details in Alex’s graphite drawings than appears at first glance to the naked eye, so that the photographs reveal as well as obscure something of the original. By converting Alex’s lines to (mostly) monochrome, and distorting the piece of paper to produce a bend in the lines, I produced something that is at once very similar but very different to Alex’s original piece.
