Xerox Art- Joan Jyons

These are two examples of Joan Lyons work, they are made from multiple transfers on large sheets of paper using a Haloid Xerox medium, which makes a carbon based image on paper.
I think these work really well, I especially like how they appear ghostly and faded. She has also achieve a double exposed effect and layered imagery on top of each other, making the images appear more photographic than photocopied. I also like how she has drawn onto the images as well, with the second one where she has scribbled a circle, which adds to the distressed look of the photocopy.
They have a slight movement to them, as they are not completely in focus and the woman in the first image looks as if she has been captured in the middle of a movement and the hands at the bottom of the image are really blurred and appear to be moving as the were captured.
