"We are three artists with strong individual careers. We are also friends who have collaborated on art projects and art products since 1992. Our experiences, our individual senses of humor and design overlap and complement each other. We find working together invigorating and surprising.

For this show we came up with the theme Head, Body, Legs.
Head, Body, Legs is a drawing game that we enjoy playing together. Our collaborative work for this show is related to that game. We made six articulated puppets where we each made a piece and then sent it to the others. We also designed a card game of Head, Body, Legs which we had printed and which will be for sale.

We played with the theme in a different way for the main works of the show, which were created individually. We split it up so that Julie would do HEADS, Margaret would do BODIES and Deborah would do LEGS. We each interpreted our assignments freely - exploring our own interests and using different materials and techniques."
