Curiosities Satisfied

Valley of the Doll

"I'm inspired by altered art, steampunk, goth, and assemblage....by old watch parts and gears, scarey doll heads, dusty bottles, grungy silverware and the like....by found objects, decay, and moss. I love the interaction between the man-made, the industrial, and the force of nature. And I love, love, love that she always has the last word..."
