The Dolly
The Dolly is a collaboration
that started from the idea of avant-garde artists at play. Concrete Editions
challenged Sally Dyer to produce a doll that would counter the whimsical
perception of the artistic value of toys and dolls. The result is a maquette in
sculptural terms.
Sally studied at
Maidstone School of Art and has lived and worked as a costume designer in the
Netherlands for the past 30 years. She has produced a highly personal,
autobiographical piece. Sally’s inspiration lies in her own eclectic collection
of trimmings, textiles and ephemera.
The result is a nuanced bricolage, a
haberdashery hotchpotch and a collector’s curiosities embodied in a doll.
