Erasure/Eradication

Eradication through fire: Instead of simply burning some various pictures, I wanted the pictures themselves to look like they played some part in the burning.


I took some pictures of me holding an eraser in mid air and then photoshoped them to look like I was erasing reality.


Two pastel drawings wiped over to partly erase them. I chose the Tasmanian tiger and Chinese river dolphin because they are two animals that were permanently erased from the earth by the hand of man.

You can't see it well in the picture, but the parts that were cut out I sketched back in. It seemed to easy to just make a bunch of holes in a picture so instead of erasing the image entirely, I just removed some of the information.
