THE SMILES PROJECT
The Smiles Project is a series of dolls celebrating personal transformation.
These dolls reflect transforming moments in my life:
from woundedness to healing;
from brokenness to transformation;
from pain to joy;
from desolation to consolation.
The starting point was a duvet cover bought during a traumatic period in my life.
Past its 'use by' date, I cut out the smiles and stuffed them.
Then using mainly recycled, repurposed and donated materials,
these dolls demanded to be created.
Some are pensive, contemplative, profound.
Some are lively, energetic, creative.
Some push all the boundaries of etiquette and good behaviour.
Each doll comes with its smile.
Some come with a stand, if required.
Each doll is $NZ250 plus postage and packaging.
