Subtractive photocopy

These are portrait drawings developed from photocopies students make of themselves.  They can begin with a reductive drawing process from a page toned with charcoal.   Light and tone is used to resolve all areas of the drawing.  The results tend to be soft and out of focus, and often distorted by the flattening of the face on the copy machine.  There will be a sense of coming out or going into darkness.
