Friday’s MetroWest Daily News features the photography of Shirin Adhami ‘01. Adhami’s portraits of dolls and their owners, a project she started with customers of her mother’s doll store in Milford, MA, are featured through mid-September at the Brookline Arts Center.
“It’s just a documentary, I’m not doing any comments on the subjects,” Adhami said. “I’m looking for as much variation as I can. I’m mostly interested in the dolls as a form of art, a different representation of a person. In a way, I’m a doll maker—we both take life and render it motionless. My models are my dolls.”
