A pair of conceptual publications which sanitise text from pages 12 and 13 of top 50 novels, so that we see the world as we want it to be, just as we present our best selves to each other on social. media. Redaction is the common theme, highlighting the contemporary pressure for popular approval and the editing of our real selves which inevitably follows. The first publication is hand-made, with all negative language removed to create an incomplete but inoffensive story. The second is an exploration of the different ways text and meaning are transformed by defacing or covering language.
