Summary: When my sister died, I inherited “The McCann Family,” dolls that she played with throughout childhood and kept with her all her life.
Cheryl pretended she was Tom McCann, spunky and misunderstood. I was Mary Ann, Mother’s favorite. When Tom couldn’t stand on his own, Cheryl fitted him with crutches and braces like hers. (She had spina bifida.) Arranging the family in scenes, she created her private world.
Decades later, I place the four inch dolls on stage, directing their actions. I present my photographs in book form where the dolls are actual size and in large format prints to bring the McCanns and memories of childhood to life.
