Barbie:Icon?

This piece was made for an exhibition entitled 'Iconic Women'.

I was never a fan of Barbie, but she is definitely iconic! She is undoubtedly a very strange shape once she has been up to life size, seen here standing next to 'Mrs Average'. The more I investigated her the more interesting she became. The two figures are made from fine Vilene and mounted onto sheer fabric which has lots of information (some good, some bad, some weird!) about Barbie laminated onto it.
