Fanee's Holla at the Bay is a provocative portrayal of female objectification and sexuality that leaves little to the imagination. Two-dozen postcard-sized marker drawings depict clown-faced women in explicit poses, tattooed with trite one-liners plucked from theater marquees and junk email. The cartoonish pieces, decorated with silver paint-pen, are graffiti-inspired indictments of minority women's social position and subjugation. However, the work is also marked by its unwillingness to come forward with its critique — the only overtly political piece is hidden in a corner: a dancer whose tattoos read "Ignorance + Greed + Ego = U.S. GOV."
