other approaches    
These images show a selection of experiments using different approaches to transferring or recording information in visual form.  

An object creates an accurate description of itself. Simple stenciling with a brush moves on from the folky home decor stencil. 

The act of sifting powder has recorded a hand’s presence and activity with surprisingly detailed spatial information. 

Pigment on thin plastic records previous activity, and the resulting image is folded or overlapped.

Household products and cardboard packaging describe themselves when used to resist or to apply pigment.
