Humans have been posting messages for over 300,000 years starting with cave wall symbols to the present day Instagram posts. Despite the takeover of digital communication people in Toronto continue to post messages on telephone posts. Attempts have been made to eradicate this practice, but it persists nonetheless. These messages are stapled to wooden posts or scotch- taped to concrete posts. Over time they become faded by sun exposure, get weathered by the rain, get torn by or get posted over by other ‘posters’.
Some of these posts come through as meaningful, humorous and sometimes beautiful. I photographed these images over a few years and created four purposeful collage ’posts’ which I printed on vinyl.
