The (R) Doc Series is a group of digital collages for the basis of a handmade book. The series employs the technique of erasure: the act of erasing, rubbing into, scraping out or removing from existence (ref: m-w.com) -- as a way of altering the original text. As seen in many so-called "declassified" documents, words of concern are blackened out, removing not only content, but context. The viewer of the document is then left with the various fragments to piece together into their own interpretation.
