From the artist Nicole Houff:

"To put it simply: I’m a Minneapolis photographer with a mild obsession with Barbie. Influenced by imagery from the 50s and 60s, I create scenes with the dolls in studio that have a sense of whimsy mixed with a little sarcasm.

"To me, Barbie is a positive, strong and empowering figure and I try to utilize her to create conversation. I’ve always felt that my Barbie series is the perfect hybrid of my BA from Macalester College with a major in Studio Art and a minor in Political Science, and my Associate Degree from Minneapolis Community and Technical College in Photography and Digital Imaging. And to answer your question, I only have around 40 dolls. Enjoy!"
