For my exploration with scanning I chose to focus on the simplicity of paper as my medium. Also included is a wooden block and a rubber stamp. I was particularly interested in the quality of depth I was able to achieve by using the scanner. I found that keeping the lid of the scanner open, I created the illusion of darkness or a black hole.

I found it interesting to see her use of design and collage in particular influencing her scan art. She has a way of representing the depth and movement of nature within a scan image. This inspires me to experiment more with movement. The following are both her pieces:
