This series stems from Pamela’s memory
and fascination of her relationship with dolls.
Overcoming her disappointment with her adult
perception of the lost human quality
of dolls she believed in as a child,
she attempts to adjust her perception by
montaging their portraits onto photographs of women.
In doing so, she discovers the montaged portraits
are even less lifelike, adding drama and a biting whimsy,
creating new and extraordinarily haunting creatures
far removed from her experience with dolls as a child.
Pamela has taken that unfettered
imagination she had as a child,
wondering if maybe she lost it as an adult,
but really it has been refocused.
She has channeled her inner child with
experiences and witty maturity of adulthood
to create these fascinating new creatures/beings.
