With her ongoing series ‘I Fought the Law’ Olivia Locher depicts America’s most unusual laws. Olivia creates scenes where her subject does exactly what’s prohibited by very unusual laws, that are partly still on the statute books. She says: “Using early pop art as inspiration, I intend to defy rules and regulations across all the remaining US states.”
