At my grandparents house I started restoring an old rusty typewriter. It took a while until I had all the parts moving again (WD40 helped a lot) and I figured out how to format a document. After some basic sentences I finally started experimenting creatively with it.
The Experiment
As typewriters are artifacts from a time before personal computers, I do not want to revive them in them in a way that they were intended to be used. Which is why I came up with my own idea to create small chicks and bunnies with the limited signage that is offered.
Artist research and inspiration
A glimpse into my idea development and research
The result
I must admit I imagined this to be way easier, but after this my fingers really hurt and I am not sure if my neigbours hate me or not, because typing is actually really loud… So after 1/3 of this A4 page I gave up on the planned pattern and decided to iterate.
