This blog contains examples of artworks that use some element of palimpsest. A palimpsest is normally understood as a manuscript page from a scroll or book from which the text has been scraped off and which can be used again. That meaning has been extended by artists so that palimpsest is also used to describe artworks that employ layering, veiling, concealing, masking, revealing, cloaking, scraping, covering, uncovering or leaving traces.
