Downtown Eastside Vancouver: Someone Else

Heads on Sticks

Some years ago, I acquired some mannequin heads from the University at which I teach; it has a hairdressing program and these are training models.  They have been in hiding for a while and just recently, while cleaning out the storage locker, I remembered them. I decided to amuse myself by arranging the heads on top of driftwood sticks I obtained from the beach beneath the Lion’s Gate Bridge on the Burrard Reserve and painted in various colours.

In the Doll House

I created a small shrine to the remnants of my childhood in our computer room, a shrine which evolved over the course of a few days from a fairly minimalist construction to this, more complex, version. Curious to see my dolls against the summer’s fabulously blue day and night sky, I also photographed them outside on the terrace.
