ABOUT THE ARTWORK

For these images, I submerged Barbie dolls and myself in my backyard pool and then aimed my camera upwards towards the doll and under-side of the pool's surface. The resulting images of both doll and her distorted reflection pit what is "true" vs. what is "false." The paint, the reflections and the Barbie doll herself, all present a reality that is simultaneously distorted and representational. This overlap of tensions and contrasts allow the visceral and the intellectual to reinforce and reflect one another in continuing, mirroring dialogue that I hope includes the concept of Barbie as societal ideal.

SHIPPING AND RETURNS
Delivery Time:

Typically 5-7 business days for domestic shipments, 10-14 business days for international shipments.

Mining the love/hate relationship between women and society, LA artist Daena Title’s expressionist paintings combine sly narrative with emotive color and dramatic brushwork. This life-long feminist, ex-actress and transplanted New Yorker’s work highlights the powerfully seductive force of our modern female icons. Go to or Drown the Dolls on youtube or facebook for artist's commentary and more information.
