After deconstructing a Barbie for my metal sculpture, I decided to explore the possibilities of deconstructed dolls. I took the limbs of several dolls and reconstructed them into different shapes; firstly as mutant creatures, which I feel have quite a sinister look to them. I then went on to corrupt the innocence of the dolls by turning them into images that a child may not or should not understand, such as swastikas and phallic imagery.
