This printed is the result of a special commission from the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College in Massachusetts. Binnie was asked to
contribute an original work to the exhibition, Unimaginable by One Mind Alone: Exquisite Corpses from the William Green Collection of Japanese Prints, on view April 14 - July 24, 2016, which was organized by Bradley M. Bailey, Associate Curator of Asian Art at the Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Bailey's concept was inspired by a game played in 1925 by a group of influential Surrealists which produced phrase "The Exquisite Corpse" and the game evolved to include drawings, producing a surreal composite of images that only the seemingly random collaboration could produce.
