An artwork from the "Doll's Fantasy" collection

A doll is the first face a child gives a name to, the first thing they dress, confide in and carry everywhere. The figures in this collection keep that quality. They stand poised and deliberate, the way a doll stands on a shelf, but each one has been given a self: a heritage, a style, a teddy bear held onto long past childhood, a way of meeting your eye that says they know exactly who they are.

The artist paints them as an argument for keeping the inner child rather than growing out of it. Their clothes, patterns and colours are drawn from real cultures and real streets, so that identity is celebrated rather than smoothed away. She hopes each one reminds the viewer of the version of themselves that dressed up, imagined freely, and had not yet learned to worry about being taken seriously.
