Project: Scanography, Grey Scale

Using a flat bed photo scanner this project explores the use of plastic bags and paper collage. This is my first time using a scanner and I had quite a fascinating experience crumbling and scanning the bags both with color and then grey scale to watch the effects and decide how to proceed. When I was satisfied with the plastic bag scan I proceeded to cut out paper and glue pieces together to form a collage which I then inserted under the plastic bag on the scanner bed experimenting with the composition and scanning both with a grey scale and color versions. I uploaded and then further edited for composition. I will return to this use of these materials and explore other techniques.
