Untitled
Victoria Edwards, Artist
About the Work
"In
1976
Edwards
made
several
series
of
erotic
photo-etchings,
using
her
friends
as
models.
She
intended
these
works
to
be
a
tongue-in-cheek
parody
of
the
absurdities
of
`serious'
pornography.
They
were
produced
in
the
larger
editions
made
possible
by
the
photolithographic
technique.
Edwards
soon
became
aware
to
her
dismay
that
many
people
took
them
seriously
and
saw
them
as
representative
of
her
work."
