Cathy Daley – doll parts
“drawing on persistent cultural images inspired by ballerina tutus, the garb of fairy-tale princesses and barbie doll couture, my work investigates childhood memories of what it means to be female in western culture and explores cultural representation of the feminine and the body. the drawings mine contemporary vocabularies of glamour, fashion, popular culture, cartoons, street signage, hollywood cinema, fairy tales, and mythology, to examine the iconography of the feminine as it exists in the cultural imaginary, personal memory, and fantasy.”
Cathy Daley was born in toronto in 1955. by kl

sparklehorse & dangerous mouse genius blank cd
after radiohead giving away its album for any donation, the greatest move against the musical industry comes from sparklehorse (mark linkous) and nyc producer dangermouse. after recording “dark night of the soul” (featuring david lynch, iggy pop, suzanne vega, julian casablancas from the strokes, wayne coyne from the flaming lips…) EMI decided that they wouldn’t release the record as they’re still pissed off at danger mouse for the grey album that he gave away for free download on his website. the grey album was a record that mixed the beatles’ white album with jay-z’s black album (jay-z’s label was ok, EMI representing the beatles was not). whatever, sparklehorse are selling a blank cd in a book designed by david lynch, and you can download for free the music on their website to burn it on your blank cd! just great! by pp’
