So, a Facebook friend posted the smaller photo, taken of me c1988, during my first year of grad school. I had all the same accessories, and the same wool turtleneck, still, so I restaged the photo and took it again, 24 years later.

Receptacle by Joyce Dallal 1

"Receptacle" is a sculpture by Joyce Dallal, a container in the shape of a giant baby doll, filled with donated broken toys which cannot otherwise be recycled or donated. It's now on view at the Manhattan Beach Cultural Arts Center, and the gallery is accepting more toy donations for the work. We brought in a box today. That's my son with one of the very nice women at the gallery.
