The preservation of ideological images of blokes and gals in times that some might have hoped to have be lost is paramount to this work. Thank god, there are still pockets of reality in our world I believe and I explore these. Torn between the love hate relationships we have to battle with everyday in society I like to communicate what people are normally afraid to. There is nothing quite like letting loose with your wildest desires.

These real and imaginary personalities (seen through my dolls and trucking drivers) have been threatened almost to extinction, partly by their own doing, and what they haven't done we are happy to help with it seems.

Trucking along in life, my girls seem happy but will they be so, once they are bowled over by their buddies?

As a note, New Zealand artist Judy Darragh is an idol of mine. This work was partly inspired by one of Judy's works, “Visible Woman” 1988. Judy used to be called the Queen of Kitsch, but has since relinquished the title.
