use dolls painted in a realistic manner in erotic poses to draw the viewer
into my critique of the way in which sexuality is pervading our entire
culture through television, movies, fashion, advertising and our general
day-to-day life. Rather than painting nude men and
women, dolls, which are not explicit sexually but rather suggest the
overindulgence of sexuality in our society today, become a more neutral
vehicle. This is shown more strongly by isolating the
figures of the dolls on a southern yellow pine flakeboard with no background
to distract from the action being depicted.
