"[This work was] begun in 1964 at Cal State Northridge for a design in metal class and finally completed in 2022. Having dreamed of becoming a clothing designer, and ending up at CSUN in the craft department, I designed and made fashion-inspired dolls in hardwood, stoneware, and metal. This is the only metal doll."
