This Owl and Pussycat flip doll was produced in collaboration between Kiki Smith and Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia, PA in 2002. This traditional flip doll, inspired by 1871 Lear's poem about two unlikely creatures in love, is a cat on one end and when its flipped over it reveals an owl. Every doll is one-of-a-kind, made of hand sewn, silk-screened fabric designed by Smith herself.
