I was recently inspired by my collection of window and door images and backgrounds including both. I like the idea of entering and exiting spaces and looking through windows.
I also enjoy constructing figures through collage. While working on our urban gal with her green socks, I recalled that when I was about 12 years old, my best friend Janis and I used to make 'adult' paper dolls . We used models from catalog and pasted them onto 'regular', i.e, girl paper dolls. We made their clothes from the catalogs too. I had not recalled this before while constructing my collaged figures. We carry all we have been.

I liked the prominent door here. I wanted a strong figure to align with it and searched through my images, coming upon my 'women photographers' collection; a theme I use often.
I was drawn to this photo of Ingrid Pollard, [amplified and altered a bit here], but didn't really know her work. Once I googled, it felt perfect to put her photos within windows. All the images are hers, except for the large face and eye; that was just for fun. Afterall, a large eye looking out a window. Yes.
