The dolls of Charla Khanna hang on the wall as works of textile art: “These are not dolls or little people,” Khanna says, explaining that the dolls are “manifestations of the human spirit, of the varied aspects of the human psyche.” They are “expressions of states of being,” she adds. Thus Khanna clearly dismisses any notion that her dolls are merely decorative or trivial, as beautiful as they are. Viewing Khanna’s dolls, one wonders what culture and gender they represent. They seem to reference the Taos artist’s proximity with both Native American and Hispanic or Mexican cultures, but they have an Asian sensibility as well. Nor are the dolls gender specific. Their androgynous aspect reinforces the metaphoric aspect of each doll, asking the viewer to tell their stories for them. The most striking aspect of the dolls is the dazzling textile work created by Khanna.
