As for this series of shots, I started collecting Japanese miniatures, and picked up a full set from the 'Bathroom' series and also a little model 'House' that I had them set up and displayed in. I think I was just messing about one day when I thought it would be funny to put Barbie in the shot, having comitted suicide after Ken leaves her for another man. My friends loved that picture, and I enjoyed doing it and there were plenty more ideas in a similar vein... so I kept at it!
I consider them all to be "personal work" - mainly stupid premises that I think are just funny and absurd. Or sometimes it might be an idea or an emotion that I want to express through the dolls or the setup ( I don't do Editorial commentary often, but sometimes it's the best way to express myself without the spittle.)
