In between erasures

And what about making your vague feeling a bit tangible by finding words in between the ones you blotted out? Suddenly, you picture that feeling or at least see a light after groping blindly.

My current obsession: Blackout Poetry.

This was made by Tyler Knott Gregson and is one of the best I’ve seen so far. I’m thinking of doing some too but tearing out pages from books might cause me to tear up a bit.

He also made this one called Ode to Women:
