"Who... are YOU?"
-the Caterpillar
The Alice in Wonderland Collection
is Growing!
Doll Assemblages
constructed from ordinary found objects
The first Hookah-Smoking Caterpillar
was constructed around a vitamin bottle which was adhered to two wooden doll stands which were cemented to
a yogurt container filled with gravel. He's heavier than he looks.
He smokes from a phone charger cord with a push-pin stuck into the end of it,
connected to the top of a cut-down Crest toothpaste tube cemented to another vitamin bottle, (the Hookah)
which was then also adhered to another wooden doll stand....
The hookah gains it's height from a plastic spool and a skewered stack of beads.
The smoke is polyester fiberfill.

"Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
"We're ALL Mad Here!"
Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
The Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
Alice: How do you know I'm mad?
The Cat: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here.
Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
The Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to...
Alice: I don't much care where.
The Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.
