Mixed-Media Doll Making: Redefining the Doll with Upcycled Materials
Quarry Books | Linda O'Brien, Opie O'Brien | 2009 | HQ PDF | ISBN: 1592535623 | 160 pages | 117 Mb
Inspired by the "Dada" notion of making art from materials that would not typically be combined or expected to go together, and driven by a similar sense of irony and humor, this exciting book by Linda and Opie O'Brien shares their unique approach to making mixed-media dolls. It is not only a "must have" volume for anyone interested in found object art and the human form, it is a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the power, symbolism, and cultural significance of dolls and representational figures.
