Trace - an element of doubt

These drawings will serve to show my startpoint. I have been using pva glue, pen and graphite on tracing paper and drafting film. I like the transparency of the pva, the translucence of the film and the reflective quality of graphite. A combination of materials allows me to disguise or reveal other images.

I want to use these materials to develop the idea of trace, possibly in time-based drawing using light or in temporary works in the environment. I am also interested in finding the moment when an image loses its readability - how far can I go in concealing it before one's perception of the image or the sense of text is lost.
