From the same series as Untitled (Kiss), Head I (Skin) and Head II (Dread) (1995) continues the theme of ‘imagined’ opposites that attract, and bodies that contain an excess of meaning. The corporeal and the haptic collide in the configuration of these printed fly posters.

Boyce knowingly employs the use of fly posters as a visual form that is usually encountered on the city streets. Head I (Skin) and Head II (Dread) suggests that these bodies exist within a system or pattern of pre-determined meaning.
