Why I Paint Mannequins
"I paint mannequins because I fine them fascinating. They have an imagined intangible BEAUTY, not just as objects but also for what they represent. I see each as an individual with a unique and intriguing face." JoeRay Kelley "So what is a mannequin? It is neither dead or Alive- indeed, it cannot have been dead since it was never alive. Well, of course it is not animated, not alive in a biological sense, and never was. And yet-it seems more alive than dead,, more asleep but not, somehow possessed of an eerie
alter-consciousness that compels us on the
subliminal, indiscernible level." Steven Richman, in his photographic book "Mannequins"
