Sculptural Dolls
These dolls were created to challenge the viewer to consider the issues surrounding ideal beauty. I deliberatedly exaggerated the features and distorted proportions to provoke a reaction in the viewer.
Woman
This female figure is representative of all women, she is voluptuous and strong. The yarns which seem to be holding or trapping her also create roots which provide stability. The body is made of silk with metallic machined yarns and beads. Her hair and painted face have symbolic meaning. It is not visible from this photo but she has only one eye.
Three Heads
The expressions on these faces seem to be pleading. They could be any gender and the odd coloured eyes dehumanize them. They were made fro Das clay.
The Grass Is Always Greener
This character made from African fabrics with cowrie shells and beads is trapped trying desperately to escape to a better place. He is blind and cannot see that things are not always what they seem.
Skellig
This sculpture takes the form of an angel and was inspired by the book written by David Almond. The wings were made from recycled paper, the body is white silk encrusted with beads. The head is made from paper clay.
Ring-o-Roses
These five figures are made from felt, wire, beads and synthetic hair.
Grace
This tall graceful figure is completely wrapped with yarns and beaded chords, The collar is made from handmade corn husk paper.
Golden curls
This simple shape is embellished with beads and painted designs on a silk body. The machined and wired chords represent the hair.
Finding Yourself In the Sea
This piece was inspired by a poem by E.E Cummings called "Maggy and Milly and Molly and May." The faceless body is sitting in a shell like structure with it's face below.
Curly Locks
Another sculptural doll which is exploring curly hair, ideal beauty.
Blanco
A face which has very African features but which has been made from white paperclay.
Blackamoor Head
This head contrasts with Blanco, his skin is matt black with white eyes and green hair. The white eyes are symbolic.
Babu
Inspired by the Masai collars this sculpture has a strong positive stance . The body is painted with acrylic and embellished with beads.
