Ink jet toner drawings

On taking apart a broken Epson printer I began making marks using the remaining ink in the cartridge and its mechanical parts. I placed each printer directly on the paper; the process was very physical and each drawing emerged as part of this dismantling process and performance. Some marks just happened, others were more controlled, with my physical presence in the drawing made evident from my footprints visible at the edges of the paper.
