Rocca’s 1968 Dream Girl explores a world of teenage preoccupations with body image, accessories, and fashion trends. Rocca presented her vision with a dizzying richness of forms and ingenious compositional devices like the divided picture field and the shifting scale of body images such as feet, hands, legs, and a large torso in the upper section of the composition. In the top corners are sleeping heads laid on pillows, indicating the importance of dreams as sources of the artist’s imagery and subjective concerns. Rocca’s inventive employment of this personal content gives her work an affable and good-natured charm despite its occasionally alarming details. – Dennis Adrian, from "Re: Chicago"Label
