About The Artwork

GoodTime Gals is an emerging series that looks at female personas steeped in rebelliousness and fast living. Jet setting dolls that know how to have a good time, and don't mind cracking a few eggs to make an omelette. As a kid, I always seemed to have 2 types of dolls; those that I ignored and left in a corner, and those that I disregarded and basically used for art sculptures or science experiments. Unsurprisingly, it was the plastic dolls that were pushed to the limits while porcelain dolls were kept nicely tucked in safe spots around the playroom. While I enjoyed the porcelain dolls, they werent respected necessarily because of the dolls that they were- I didnt really appreciate them for the decorations or doll design. Actually, the faces and dresses of most of them I found frustrating because they had frumpy shapes unlike my plastic Barbie dolls or Glamor Girls- Now THEY had pizzazz! They were modern- with hip clothing! They had the body shapes of movie stars and goddesses! The only reason I DID respect the porcelain dolls was because of the material they were made from. Something about them being made in clay put them in a class of their own. I just knew from past experience that there was no fun with THESE dolls; one duct tape-to-a-skateboard down the hill, and these dolls were goners. So, probably due to their predictable nature, I valued them for their fragility. These dolls simply "don't play" the way I played and so, they often sat in the corner piles of doll dust. When I considered my options of dolls to play with, I always found it frustrating that there wasn't hipper porcelain dolls- ones that had the power of coolness, that I could not only respect for their fragility,, but also admire for their suave, trend setting bloom! I wonder if I would have stopped my doll art and science projects if they were all porcelain varieties of amazing instead of cliche plastics? Hard to say. Good Time Gals is an emerging series that resolves my long held desire for that ideal porcelain doll which not only has my respect, but also my attention! I probably would have made different fashion and accessory choices if I had created these as a kid, while living through the doll frustrations- smokes and drink would probably NOT be in there. I don't think I could have made Good Time Gals as I have expressed them here, any sooner than now.
