"Proofs" and "Proving..." works are found documents and photos covered with ink markings. The marks are made with a small carved eraser stamped in ink. The documents I choose are often aids in learning or discovering aspects of our world. They are an authority, or "proof" that a thing exists. The stamping is an act of concealing and revealing.
