Deviousness |
The theme of artificial life as compaionship is always in my work. I even have a piece called Automaton.
my Wip Francine is a life sized jointed doll. sh e is based on Francine Descartes a little girl who died in the 1500 and whos father made a replica mechanical doll of her.
wow, the story of francine gives me goose bumps, but it's fascinating, for sure ! where do you learn stuff like this ?!
Its an interesting story with its elements of fancifulness,love and tragedy.Francine the doll was dumped in the sea so, not in a museum alas,but her father Rene Descartes is a famous mathematician and philosopher. its possible he could have made her or commissioned to have it made. I choose to think its true.
I research a great deal online. I go deep into these core topics. Usually antiquated lore pertaining to dolls,art methods and materials.Artificial life, love dolls, puppets,automatons, mummy, fetish figures,mannequins, androids,H+ and all such things tie in. I even read up on plant lore such as the mandrake root. since its in human form and there's superstitions about it.
