Pat and Madge Discover Sugar
ARTIST STATEMENT:
I never cared for dolls.
Not as a child. Nor as an adult.
Pat and Madge are a different story.
They are dear to me—not only because they were my Mom’s
But because of their Betty Boop eyes, expressive hands and the curve of their tummies.
And their boundless mischief and joy.
They dive into my photos, uninvited.
They tickle my inner child.
They are my antidote to my daily dose of the NY Times.
I’ll never forget the day they discovered sugar.
Their endless poses and delight.
At night I hear their helpless giggles as I drop off to sleep.
