These 'erasure' collages, in which pieces of a landscape are covered, disjointed, replaced or embelished, are named for Samuel Beckett's poem, bon bon il est un pays:

all right all right there’s a land
where forgetting where forgetting weighs
gently upon worlds unnamed...
(Philip Nikolayev's translation)
