By displaying a number of handmade afghans and dolls together, Kelley produced the opposite effect of that seen in Warhol's *Campbell's Soup Cans* and the Bechers' *Water Towers*. Whereas those artists, by taking objects considered to be generic and uninteresting and presenting them side by side, drew attention to the subtle uniqueness of each object, Kelley has taken items that seem unique and full of stories and emotion and instead sought to emphasise their uniformity and commoditisation.
