Artist Statement: “When I was eight in 1988, my friend Kelly introduced me to her talking Cricket doll and the imaginary world of ‘Cricketland’—a magical place we escaped to every time we played. We spent carefree hours drawing pictures of Cricket and dreaming up new adventures, and receiving my own doll that Christmas was pure joy. Kelly passed away in 2019, and this piece is dedicated to her memory and the simple, innocent fun we shared growing up.”
