Through the process of play and “trying things on” my figures experiment with objects that affect their appearance and bodily movement. The decorations reference desserts in their delicately frosted, sugary surfaces. Sometimes these objects unnaturally restrict the figure from either normal movement or sensory function. Although they initially appear sweet and frivolous, these adornments have the potential to cause physical and psychological discomfort. They serve as a means to an end; as vehicles used to create an image of desire. The figures are experimenting with different modes of self-representation. They alternate between appearing submissive and threatening. It is indistinguishable whether they make these alterations for a self-serving purpose or for the pleasure of the viewer.
