Painted Pastie Sculpture

From the artist's photo series "Community Guidelines," one coveted, painted pastie is available for purchase. This work is a photo collection of painted nipples on pasties and then photographing these pastie artworks on the human body. The nipples are painted from reference photos of female and trans identifying humans, mostly friends and acquaintances. The models wearing the pasties are a variety of sexes, genders, races, ages (18+) & sizes. These photos are intended to directly and playfully question Instagram’s current community guidelines that bans the showing of female nipples, but allows photographs of nude paintings. Lineback's work has an immediacy and often sexually provocative attitude that firmly locates her oeuvre within the tradition of feminist discourse. This pastie is USED and was worn by a model in the making of this photography.
