CLOWN DOLLS
Each doll is a reconstruction — a revival of forgotten objects gathered from thrift stores and garage sales. Using sculpted clay, acrylic paint, and layers of epoxy resin, I transform discarded baby doll parts into figures that echo both nostalgia and reinvention. Their hand-stitched garments, made from recycled fabrics and adorned with ruffles and pom-poms, speak to the beauty of imperfection and reuse. Each piece is completed with its own set of whimsical adoption papers, giving the doll a distinct personality and story — a final touch that brings it fully to life.
