Amber Lynn | Project Gastric Series silkscreen print Signed and Framed

Silkscreen on paper. Framed. #15 of 100 Artist: Amber Lynn 2011 From an article on Project Gastric: Project GASTRIC will be “exhibit GASTRIC” by 2013. It will probably take about 2 years or more to complete. In a nutshell, the reason being there are about 10-15 different bodies of work in all different mediums within the actual project. These bodies of work will not be completely shared to exact detail until the exhibit. However, the blog will be showing snipets of the works in progress and obviously share my journey along the way of documenting the “patient” (her identity will not be released until the Exhibit.) The “patient” had Gastric Bypass surgery. CAT CALL will speak to everyone in different ways. As does cat calling. “DAMN GIRL.. YOU THICK” is interpreted differently to the giver and receiver. This aspect of project GASTRIC (CAT CALL) can be taken to a level of “feminist” art by some, but again that IS VERY DEPENDENT on the actual viewer. All of the phrases that are and will be used are ACTUAL CAT CALLS that I received when I was over weight. I have referred to a list of these cat calls that I kept religiously in my diary while in college and overweight. Let woman and men interpret this how they will. I am not afraid of offending OR inspiring people. I do want to make people think twice or thrice. I am just sharing my past experience with being over weight and how I was “complimented”.
