Until I stumbled upon the Eric Foss 'Word' series, I never imagined singular letters could take on an erotic form all on their own. Yet I should have known better considering all of the strange fonts that have risen over the last while.
Made up of 70s porn images, the Eric Foss 'Word' series is rather unique. Currently being exhibited at the Anonymous Gallery booth inside Scope in Miami, it is a provocative patchwork of legs, butts and breasts.
