While buying the mannequins I used as armatures for The Ladies Series at a yard sale, the seller paused before taking my money.
“How are you going to use them?”
“Some kind of art, I think.”
“Respectful?”
“Yes, beautiful if I can. Why?”
“Because 20 minutes ago this guy was buying them when he said - ‘Oh, boy, these will be great for target practice!’ I snatched the money right out of his hand and said - NO DEAL!”
Some of my men friends say, these are the best art work I’ve ever done. Some group shows have not allowed me to show them because “children might see them.” They were featured on the walls of our local Theatrical Society theater for the Winter Solstice Celebration - - A Children’s Show. My mentor suggested I should show them in galleries that might have a lesbian clientele.
