They have arrived!!!!
I created and sent off 2 dollies for an installation @ the Fractures Galleries, Federation Square, Melbourne.
A few months ago I came across an EOI looking for artists to contribute a hand made doll for an exhibition in Melbourne, as part of the Fringe Festival. It was right down my lane, as I already exhibited small felted dollies in my last group show in Melbourne, Brunswick Street Galleries.
'Totem - Dolls with Soul' is an exhibition curated by the lovely Sayraphim Lothian (the most beautiful name!), and is held @ Federation Square between the 25th September and the 12th
October. Totem is an honest and heartfelt expression of self identity, in doll form. These dolls are more than just simple children's toys, they are powerful symbols of who we think we are.
Well, I think of myself as a loving mum (soft & fluffy, a bit rough around the edges, but all natural!) with a big heart and partly covered in Silk(e), and of my daughter as the smaller version, the mini-me!
So, our voodoo - doubles are being hung up underneath the fractured glass roof of Fed Square as I am writing this. No wonder I have been feeling slightly elevated today.......
