LOO-LOOS: Restroom Gender Signs

Mark Chester, Photographer

May 8 - August 10, 2025

Loo-Loos explores gender from a theme that connects with all of us – the public bathroom!

Chester describes Loo-Loos as “a collection of restroom gender signs that say more than ‘men, women, ladies, or gentleman.’  They are, elegant, colorful, and corny….I photographed these signs over many years on travels through the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, France, Iceland and England.”
