Colette originally created this portfolio of images as an affordable collectible.  It was one of a number of art products that she made in 1978 that connected with her theory of “reverse pop.”  Pop Art selected items from popular culture and transformed them into art.  Colette strove for the reverse; to interject her art into popular culture by making it affordable for the masses.

Colette worked without inhibition. Acting out an inner-world of fantasies she began making photographic self-portraits, creating soft fabric environments in which she was often a crucial living presence, and exhibiting self-referential hybrid works that combined sculpture, painting, and photography.
