Art by John Waters

What a looker! This series plates feature three mannequin busts transfigured through thickly applied make-up and elaborate wigs into the larger than life characters Tina, Kim, Kathy. An uncanny imitation of life is conveyed in the penetrating stare of their sparkling eyes, and each bust, distinctively styled, evokes a striking personality. These are the artist’s "friends", who share his home in Baltimore. Known for his irreverent approach to cultural iconography, John Waters regards the collectible plate as a perfect vehicle for sharing his personal sensibility with a wider, yet still peculiar audience.
