Exploitation

One thing that has definitely interested me for a while is pattern making - especially through repetition of letter forms and other characters found on the keyboard. The typewriter offers an interesting opportunity to manually (as opposed to on-screen) produce these patterns through the exploitation of individual characters. I think this is the beginning of how I can start to look at the typewriter as a tool for making rather than writing. Below are just a couple of experiments.
