A set of Compress works on paper were presented in Still Vast Reserves.
Two magazine pages come together face to face: one relatively white and empty (the 'host' sheet), the other with more printed bodies and goods to give-up under the hand-pressure of erasing the pages' reverse sides. Stain-like forms and silhouettes are imprinted, transferred from the face of one page onto the other. The host sheet is kept, the other discarded. Lastly, the original contents of the kept sheet are whited-out: only that and the image-transfer remain -- a COMPRESS.
