This project is about tracing an open book. Each work is a diptych, the first part made by tracing on red carbon copy paper between the words and under the lines, and in the second part of the diptych I trace the printed marks word for word. I trace all left pages on the left and all right pages on the right, in overlapping layers. My interest in this case had to do with the different readings a book may have and I tried to render that in a literal way.
