The Reborn Doll Project

For my second year AA2A residency at the University of Chester, I am developing the concept from the previous year, using the doll as my main focus of interest, and making work centered on the phenomenon of the Reborn Doll via a range of paintings, prints, drawings and sculpture. The images below show the progress I have made so far.
