Known for her fanciful ceramic shoes and purses, Julie Didion embarks on another series of cleverly fashioned clay mermaids.  Her delicate manner demonstrates painstaking and meticulous sculpting with ideas that are both perky and dreamy.  She configures clay shapes that are delightfully articulate and expressive, revealing imaginative, lighthearted interpretations of ladies’ bags and shoes.  At the same time packing along the whimsy and verve in the use of clay as a medium, Didion articulates her interpretation of the age old mythical fantasy of goddess-like divas that in reflecting their likeness in a mirror might imagine how they can alter the image.  Oh, if we could only be like Snow White and dream of a Prince Charming.
