Whanganui artist Julz Coffey remembers her brother dismantling the walkie talkie doll she owned as a child. I didn t mind that much because I didn t really enjoy playing with her but I did like making things for her, Coffey says. She was never put back together but I did keep the head and I have collected a number of dolls heads over the years.
Some of those small heads have been given unique bodies that combine Coffey s talents as a sculptor and painter to feature in her latest exhibition Dolly Good Show , which opens at the Red Door Gallery in Putiki Drive this Friday.
