The works presented are quite humorous. The first features a ‘Bratz’ girl doll holding a Tech Deck skateboard against an urban background. A playful nod to playfulness and inclusivity. The second shows a worn board broken in two, which we would have tried to glue back together with bandages, like a child looking after a stuffed toy.
Both artworks are sold.
