Doll Play

Featuring Trexie Dorrell

The usual game is a woman playing at being a doll. Here the doll plays at being a woman: she takes up the club and the racket, wanders into the woods, and lies back in the sun as though she had always belonged to it.

Trexie Dorrell on a fairway in a white visor and a black and white striped sequinned dress, bent at the knees with both hands on a golf club, a golf bag with blue headcovers beside her and tall trees behind — IBoth hands on the club, as if she had seen it done.

Trexie Dorrell on a tennis court in the white visor and the striped sequinned dress, holding a red racket up in front of her, waiting at the net with a chain-link fence behind — IIWaiting at the net for a ball, the way the living do.

Trexie Dorrell on a terrace above the water in a studded black leather jacket over a red top, one black-gloved hand raised to her temple, a red rose clutch on the balustrade beside her — IVStudded leather over red, and a stare she practised until it was hers.

Trexie Dorrell leaning against a white stone balustrade scattered with autumn leaves, in a red top, long black opera gloves and a black skirt banded with red and blue florals, bare trees behind — VAutumn on the stone. She is learning that things fall.
