Humans have always been fascinated with re-creating themselves through the art of doll and figure making.
Where does this stem from? For little girls, is this part of mirroring her role as a nurturing mother looking after a baby?
And what about creating realistic, or life sized dolls? Are we trying, at the heart of it, to make the perfect human being?
Artists have often sought to create, capture, and even become dolls themselves within their work.
Themes crop up such as perfection, seeing humans as a play thing, childhood, sexuality, and what makes something real?
I have chosen a selection of photographs that blend the boundries between doll and human - artificial and real.
Thank you ever so much to all of those involved.
And I hope that everyone can enjoy and be inspired by these photographs.
