| Date | c.1981-1983 |
| Description | Colour positives featuring images of males taken from pornographic [magazines?]. In the majority of images the models are masturbating. Images /1 to /4 were used as the basis for an anamorphic work utilising a close up image of a masturbating male. The images include triangular sections removed by Dye in preparation for the work. Accompanied by additional colour positives of [Dye's?] hand gripping a phallic shaped object. The images were possibly used in preparation for an anamorphic drawing of a male hand gripping an erect penis and in the preparation for a layered photographic collage featuring a male hand gripping an unseen object. |
