I have a preoccupation with abandoned spaces, old objects and the possible histories they may have had. This work looks at dolls that have been aged by time, many of which are my mother's. Their adventures and memories are brought to life once more through experimental video and stop motion photography, followed by hauntingly discordant sounds captured from old wind up music boxes.
