Inspired by the German forests and fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, These artworks are crafted from upcycled fabric samples & antique discarded German dolls heads and play with contrasting textures and elements of the unknown where soft, fuzzy fibers are contrasted by the rigidity of porcelain. Fabric swatches, outdated and dismissed after only one season to make space for the new collection, dolls heads, broken, misshapen, incomplete, all discarded and deemed useless are joined to find new meaning. The swatches are layered, sewn together and manipulated to reveal new textures. The process is often unpredictable and surprising when multiple colored threads, barely noticeable in the unaltered fabric, come to the surface and sometimes dominate and completely alter the color scheme. The doll’s heads are left as they were dug out, covered in dirt, from a discard trench outside a doll factory in the Eastern German city of Dresden, destroyed in the allied firebombing. They are not perfect. Their imperfections make these mass produced rejects individuals. Joined together these objects form new mysterious creatures.
