The Doll Show #1: Poppet

The word doll implies something to be interacted with-a miniature-complex-living Object, which powerfully interacts and exists as a being within and without human life. The doll engages us in the palpable reality of the imagination and opens up possibilities of unacknowledged, perceivable, possible realities. A doll is something to be reckoned with.

Featuring original doll inspired work for show (and some for sale) by the following artists: Shannon Taylor, Wendy Trusler, Hilary Wear, Beth McCubbin, leigh kotsilidis, Leigh Macdonald, micky renders, jess Rowland, Erin Parker, Margot Klingender, Jody Boyd.

Work ranges from short animated video works, photographs, drawings, paintings, sock puppets, dolls constructed from various materials, a multimedia sound installation, an interactive doll shrine to lost children, burr and found object sculptures, ceramic fashion plates, and even interactive Stephen Harper dolls.
