Above: This video documents how research assistant Jacob T. removes the backface of the paper from the wood board, leaving the image behind. This process uses acrylic gel to pick up toner from a laser printout and bind the toner to a new surface in this case, wood. This process gives us the opportunity to work additively (layering up multiple gel transfers) or subtractively (carving into the boards) as we continue to use drawing as a way of understanding decay.
