A six-part poster series inspired by a Playboy Magazine, with subjects censored. Renewed outlines, their purpose becomes something of an exercise—a "connect the dots" puzzle without a guide.

Core design elements recall the graphic limitation of early computer technology, utilizing monospaced type & wingdings, which correspond to the poster number & serve as ornamentation. The scope is central to the phenomenon known as pareidolia.

Bunnies are a commodity under the Playboy corporate entity; symbols of pleasure, desire, of status. Gloria Steinem reported the conditions of these Playboy clubs in an exposé A Bunny's Tale, 1963. Subdued reaction to physical damage caused by constumes & acts of forced submission, women stripped to objects.

[6 of 12] original posters were printed on [18" x 24"] 24lb uncoated bond paper & wheatpasted onto the Aries Program building in Vancouver BC. The walls of this building are transient advertising space. This series was exhibited for one week at Emily Carr University & Slice of Life Gallery. Each poster was suspended by a utility clip, along with duralar film & a dry-erase marker, inviting collaboration.

Many were inclined to redefine the subject or avoid it, some writing between the red lines, others colouring circles. Few confronted the figure directly. No longer a Bunny, but a woman, no longer a woman, but imagine. 2023.
