have been making a variety of of dolls – have also started painting/drawing with just the cut outs of eyes/mouths etc – most of the ones I have been working on are stills from films – usually a moment of fear/horror (Hitchcock). I am finding these really useful and allow me to think more of how to push the use of video and objects by creating environments in 2d.
am working towards making two dolls – with blank faces so that I can project onto the faces – wanted to use me and my daughter. I have had technical difficulties trying to make this work at the moment so it isn’t quite ready
From reading Camera Lucida and how the photo is the staged projection of self I thought I would experiment using footage that wouldn’t normally be seen as the finished piece – the in between moments
the arms/metal pieces are just experiments – trying to still make objects that are like play pieces – I want to try using different materials on the metal – to make it more inviting and plush
