Title- "Pam"

Denotations-

The artist is using multiple internet images of Pamela Anderson to create a new image of the actress.

Connotations-

Napier is playing off of two different aspects of the actress. He uses Pam to make a statement about beauty. She is known in mainstream media as a beautiful and sexy actress. In many of her pieces she plays the seductress gaining most men's attention because of her well accepted body figure and outer beauty. To many men she is seen as perfect. However, Napier calls out her imperfections by creating her image from a collage of her own pictures.

It takes out her perfection and brings light to the scewed way many men think about women.

Dictation

Connotation

Here napier is again Playing off of Pamela Anderson's beauty.

He achieves a new level of criticism with the collage. In reality Pamela is known to have had plastic surgery and also receives a lot of make-up attention to achieve some of the outer beauty she has. Napier skews This and pokes fun at this culture which accepts people who would rather artificially enhance their beauty by any means necessary which actually destroys any true beauty the original person or image ever had.
