Although this is a pretty titillating post title, I haven’t started delving into pornography (yet). The title is actually a quote from my art professor David Lefkowitz, referring to my final painting project. I knew that I wanted to work with a map, and I was inspired by the lower 48 states as an (in?)divisible shape. I sketched and eventually painted figures contorted to fit within the state’s boundaries. Some were more challenging than others (i.e. Michigan, complete with Upper Peninsula). Here are some pictures as it was in progress, with me for scale (the painting itself is on 9 masonite panels, and is 5′6″ x 8′6″).
