The phenomenon of the Black Barbie was still so fresh in my youth. It amazed but still did not fit my reality. I aim to build a piece of Black Barbie bodies adjusted and reformed to fit the kind of dreamy creatures that fit my childhood imaginings.
Below are images of some of my drawings and mask work to exemplify the kinds of forms I will be playing with and creating.
