LEFT BEHIND | Dolls recovered from forgotten fairytales
Not all lost things wish to be found.
RECOVERED OBJECT NO. 004
Bracken is a one-of-a-kind, handmade textile art doll from my Left Behind collection, a series of peculiar creatures that might once have belonged to children from fairytales you have never heard.
Made from fabric, individually hand-painted and dressed in aged scraps of cloth, Bracken bears painted bones, a watchful face, weighted hands and feet, copper-coloured antlers and a rather solemn sun upon his chest. Gold thread binds a damaged limb, evidence of a repair whose origins remain undocumented.
Each doll has its own imagined history, recorded on an accompanying archive card.

Bracken is entirely handmade and individually painted, with carefully chosen fabrics, distressed details and hand-finished embellishments.
