My Work











I decided to use a mould from a past student and some of my own, as my concept is different.

The dolls I have casted represent newborn babies, reminding us of how fragile new life is and how gently they must be treated and cared for.

I am now casting dolls in porcelain to open new chapters of exploration.

Through the process of play, my figures experiment with objects that affect their appearance and bodily movement.

  1. The dynamic principle of fantasy is play, a characteristic also of the child, and as such it appears inconsistent with the principle of serious work. But without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable. It is therefore short-sighted to treat fantasy, on account of its risky or unacceptable nature, as a thing of little worth.
