Item Description
Invisible Enemy, 2024, silkscreen on Stonehenge paper, 20" x 30", edition 1 of 5
Referencing the original Cold War design of the Justin Case propaganda posters, this series is remixed to reflect Canada's LGBT Purge - a time when queer folks were sought out and dismissed from public service. In this design, Justin Case warns about the difficulty in identifying lesbians.
