A six-part poster series inspired by the pages of a Playboy Magazine, where the subjects are censored. Rebirthed as outlines, their purpose becomes something of an exercise--a "connect the dots" puzzle.

[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 primarily used as advertising space for touring arists & as such is transient. The remaining 6 posters were installed in the East stairway of Emily Carr University for one week. Each poster was suspended from a utility clip, along with a duralar film & a dry-erase marker provided, allowing for passerbys to connect the dots or read between the lines.
During my solo exhibition "1355" at Slice of Life Gallery, 6 additional posters were printed directly on clear film at the same scale & installed onto the white wall for another iteration of posters.
The most interesting part of this project has been outside reaction. Due to the obvious figure, people tend to avoid connecting the dots logicaly--though of course it is still bound to happen. Most entertaining, was the drawing done on But Imagine #2, where a flamingo took her place.
