ARTIST STATEMENT
I thought my collection of cherished paper dolls were destined for cute decoupages. Instead they have become a supply of victims. Children massacred by weapons of war. Children sacrificed by violent angry Americans.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Motivated by loss, abandonment and recent events, Beutel collects everything she is compelled to, hoarding it until its purpose is revealed to her. She enjoys word-play, creating illusions of scale and weaving together dark humor and whimsy.
