Homunculus
They originated simply enough, from having "free time" while working at an art supply store that didn't exactly discourage such creativity. The majority of them were created in a few months to be ready in time for a gallery show in the summer of 2009. There is not much planning beforehand, in a way they "create" themselves, somehow telling me what to add to them next from the boxes of odds and ends and bones and wires and fabric that I have taking up too much space in my tiny living space. Some names came from mythological sources, some just out of the ether. I found that I had a preference for older, often antique dolls to work on. I've tried looking in toy stores but modern dolls creep me out to begin with, I couldn't make them any creepier.
