Lyzbeth is one of a series of self-portraits called 'Selfies'.
She is the dancer, the dance, the dancing. She is the choreographer, the soloist, the pas de deux, the ensemble, the audience. Lyzbeth reminds me that have a role in the dance of life. Buffy is one of an reflective series of dolls called 'Selfies'. Buffy is constrained - by society, by religion, by economics, by personality. Some constraints are for the common good, such as road laws. Others are imposed by society or religious institutions, and may inhibit or deny basic human rights and dignity. Some constraints are self-imposed. Who is in control? Sabella is a 'Selfie', a series of dolls exploring my self image.
She is a collage, a montage, a juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated items, layered, covered, buried. Do I recognise, acknowledge, honour this eclectic mix that has shaped me? How do I show my gratitude? How do I integrate this accumulated wisdom into my daily life? Sabella is an interpretation of a doll designed by Lynne Sward. Tetty is one of an on-going series exploring 'Selfies'.
Tetty is deconstructed. Am I more than the sum of my individual parts? How do I honour the parts of myself that are no longer required? Have I ritualised the passages of time? Am I a good steward to my body, mind and soul? Leanna is one of a series of dolls called 'Selfies'. She is my still-point - the quiet within; the intentional pause; the healing silence. In this stillness, my spirit is enlivened, invigorated, re-purposed. Elsie is the ninth doll in a series called 'Selfies' Each doll portrays an aspect of myself. They are named with derivatives of my own name, Elizabeth. Elsie is a soul friend - a listener, a companion, a guide. Elise is the eighth doll in a series called 'Selfies'. Elise is my shadow, "...the dark spot on the ground when I stand in the sun." Lisbet is the seventh doll in a series exploring 'Selfies'.
She is a student - forever studying life and its gifts. Libbie is the sixth doll in a series called 'Selfies'.
She is fertile, a breeding ground, pregnant, expectant. A nurturer of people; of souls; of ideas; of possibility. Libbie is made from a pattern designed by Julie McCullough. |
