Xerox Art- Doreen Lindsay

These are examples of Doreen Lindsay's Xerox Art.

These were achieved with a Xerox 6500, which has given them a really nice quality, as the colour isn't quite right and when you look closely you can see how the photocopier has built up the colour leaving blurred pixels of colour to make up the print. There is also a lot of tonal values in them, with really strong shadows to show the 3D quality of the heads and hands and gives a really effective texture on the fabric and hair.

Although these are static images they are still very lively due to the colours and grainy lines left by the photocopier.

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.

Audio Visual Xerox Art Project

These are some experiments for our new brief, to create a series of photocopy's that show movement.
For these I looked at moving the object to elongate and distort it, which I think works very well, especially for the 'S' as it has completely changed the shape.
I also looked at achieving multiple images of one object on the photocopy, I used my head and slowly turned it as I was photocopying, which made the image of my face repeat three times.
I feel these have worked really well as small experiments, I will be developing these ideas for the final pieces and explore how else to convey movement.
