This series is about strange sexual fetishes. What drew me to this subject is the fact that it is outside normal society. While I was printing I hand painted the ink onto each carved linoleum block. Then after I pulled each block, each print had 3 blocks, I went back into it with colored pencil. The ink was also water-soluble so I was able to manipulate that well. The multiple prints allowed me to play around. The last step I did was to cut out sections and lay the print over handmade colored papers. I created small poems to go with each print as a way to make it seem a bit more like a freak show. I did this because much of these fetishes are bizarre, silly and some are a disturbing.
