A mark

A visual experiment exploring a form of leaving a mark. By collecting a waste paper bin situated next to a photocopier in a library I was intrigued by the evide
nt page marks that had sunk to the bottom of the bin bag. I admire how the scale and torn effect of the page marks state that they were once used as an indication of position.

Above I have captured the effect and essence of the page marks being intended for marking a page to photocopy by photocopying the whole book with the collected page marks. I think this is an effective image created through the aesthetic quality of the grainy black and white photocopy.
