Negatexts
|
Negatexts are created by the erasure of
existing texts. Old religious training manuals, children's books,
instructional books of any kind, and in general, books with many nouns (e.g. Wound
Healing a surgeon's manual) have all been overpainted with black gesso
while at the same time leaving visible a word or a phrase per page so that
another text, a sub-text, a negatext magically presents itself. |
My Negatexts fall into two categories:
- full books
- excerpts (a selection of
framed pages)
all Negatexts are part of my ever expanding Negatextual
Resource Centre
When consulting the Negatextual
Resource Centre
remember, everything that is,
is always, at the same time, something else.
