Shain Erin er kunstner og har de sidste år arbejdet meget med dukker.
Dukkerne er et medie – en hul skal hun fylder op med hjælp fra åndeverdenen(!) og skaber nogle unikke og fascinerende udtryk.
Hun leger med vores koncept om dukker og laver blandt andet dukker fra kulturer, der ikke findes.
Hun skriver selv:
“For the last several years I’ve been preoccupied with dolls: I see them as a long under appreciated art form with virtually unlimited expressive possibilities. I’m inspired by traditional world art figures (kachina, bochia, nkisi, namchi, shadow puppets, etc.) while working to push the boundaries of what a “doll” is as far as my imagination and skills will take it.
These are not comforting toys; they can be challenging and defiant, disturbing and enchanting, irrational and frightening, beautiful and sad. They have stories they yearn to tell, and they hold secrets they will never give up. I like to think of dolls as spirit vessels and the making of a doll a kind of offering or invitation. It’s always a collaboration between me and whatever spirit comes forward.”
Spændende 🙂
