Ookpik Girl

I presented this doll in an installation where she sat on the floor among furniture that matched her clothes, using fabric from the Anchor/Cradle, and a silent doll-sized television made from paper clay.  The T.V.projected blue light.  I see the installation as an extension of the personal interventions I've been doing.  I'm not sure yet if I'm identifying the doll as a self portrait, but in this case it did represent the state of mind that I was in at the time; introspective and low energy.\

The original ookpik is made by Margaret Kanayok and altered by myself.
