An ongoing body of work comprised of sculpted doll busts, photographs and digital paintings. I'm delving into the uncanny valley to see what the dolls can tell me about characterisation and the spontaneous sense of personality and presence these little faces project.
Currently, sculpting each head is a slow and labour-intensive process. So soon I would like to start casting in resin or hydrocal and then modifying each cast head. The sheer volume of variations on a theme, and each bust/character's individuality is an integral part of the work. They seem to have taken on a life of their own and I can see this being a very open ended series of works.
