I used melting beads (the iron kind) and heated them in the oven. I’m erasing an entry from the Encyclopedia A-Z. The door is a symbol to me of being closed off, trapped. But when you open the door, there might be a million beautiful things beyond. It’s hard to walk through that door and be yourself. 🌈
The poem reads:
Door
The
Narrative
Hollow casting
Doors
Common in
Modern
Usually solid
Strength
Cut in two
By pivoting

I am in love with my new Gouache paint set 😍😍😍 This is an erasure poem of the Encyclopedia entry for “Chemical Elements.”

the writers
this natural scientist
who
was well known as a
Queen Jezebel
her eyes
bells and mirrors

possesses
distinctive qualities

For this erasure poem I used homemade beet juice! I love how vibrant it was but I couldn’t read the text 😭 Sometimes art doesn’t turn out like you think but you just go with it!
The poem reads:
Cells
the cell
has been found to be
belief
a pool of
transfiguration
living
Is the penetration of
energy
exploited
into a cup

This is one of my favorite erasure poems in my exhibition of large scale erasure poems! From “Elements of Astrology”
The poem reads:
Elements
To cross the line of
Masculine and feminine
Persons born divided
Always on opposite
to each other
60 degrees apart
vice versa
Commit all these aspects
To be as perfect as possible
From beginning to end.

Erasure poem of Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography
The poem reads:
Electricity
without making noise or giving light
good ones are often damaged
the fluid passes in the walls
the bodies
in a straight or crooked line
down into the moist earth

Erasure of THE CALL OF CTHULHU by HP Lovecraft
Erasure can be a way to challenge works that make us uncomfortable or are problematic.
“A dream deferred is a dream denied.” – Langston Hughes
The poem reads:
The call
the dream sculpture of
America
has crystallized in
nightmares
of a sensitive
Strange dreams
of
cult
The dream-narratives
a morbid statue
of this thing
a hideous
delirium

This is from the very first book about women artists, “Women Artists in All Ages and Countries” by Elizabeth Ellet.
The poem reads:
Women Artists
She sat weeping
representing the hardships without money
Just weeping
she continued
Art
After her sorrows
and
success
was in portraits.

Women artists have been around just as long as male artists, but often don’t get the recognition they deserve. Here’s to Victorian women skinning birds 🔥
The poem reads:
Taxidermy
The skin from the body
you can seldom get a
body being reversed
the clotted blood, the plumage
your fingers
escaped the marks
In the act of skinning a bird,
your body
will always move
well anointed
