“I vividly remember playing with dolls and stuffed animals as a young girl. They brought me comfort, pleasure and new coping skills and on occasion, solutions to conflicts. This current work is an attempt to recreate some of those childhood characters and to interact with them both as an artist and as a woman.” —Yana Goldfine

Any time I am met face to face with an artifact of my youngest years, it gives me pause. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, sculptor Yana Goldfine is on a journey to revisit her own artifacts. Where do they take you?
