About Metal dollhouse memories
My Story
I have worked for many years as a Cartoonist and a Sculptor.
While most of my published cartoons on paper have long since decomposed, the most easily viewed sculpture is the Korean War Monument located outside the Soldier’s and Sailor’s Museum on East Main Street in Huntington, New York. It is based on a historical photograph.
My recent work incorporates my love of history and sculpture. The medium is photographs of a 1950’s Marx tin dollhouse populated by vintage German Caco dollhouse dolls.
As I once would pick up a pen and ink a single panel cartoon or create a sculptural relief using photographs, I now utilize photographs of the dollhouse and the dolls as my artistic medium. I enjoy recreating childhood memories and illustrating them, utilizing these unique vintage playthings.
