“I started to make the doll figures be about me, but more universal. I was interested in all the things we do every day as women that art is never made about. It’s very different today. But, again, this is a long time ago. It was considered craft and not appropriate. You had to be serious; you couldn’t use certain materials. I mean the idea that you would use pulp paper, which is like a children’s clay material, and then make things about a woman’s daily life. Not the “important things” but the things we all spend hours a day doing that nobody honors.”

Claudia DeMonte in conversation with Melisa Christ and Alisha Kerlin, August 5, 2020.

Item description: A flat, textured, paper pulp sculpture of a woman in a long dress bowling. She is stood facing the bowling lane, her ball held close, while her dark hair and decorated gown billow behind.
