This is the My Little Possessions series, a collection of dollhaus art dolls / slash doll / sculpture assemblages I have built utilizing materials and themes not found in the standard doll faire. These are inspired primarily by the abundance of dolls one can find at yard sales; I regularly make the yard sale circuit for materials, and the plethora of dolls in turn inspired me to use the dolls themselves as materials.
I noticed, also, that quite a lot of dolls and toy babies are just plain creepy. I would later find that this creepiness I perceived participates within the robotics hypothesis of the The Uncanny Valley, where artifical approximations of living things become less the things they mimic the better they mimick them at certain areas of their evolution. I find most dolls to be well within that Valley, with little chance of climbing out. It is a wonder to me why any girl dreams of becoming a mommy one day, what with all of these scary little rubber and plastic larval humans sold in cellophaned boxes at toy stores, staring eerily with faux needy eyes.
Shudder.
So, no harm done in making their creepiness a bit more overt, right? Right?

Scary ass dolls are nothing new, and hell, I swear that most dolls look scary on their own long before I ever start cutting into them.
That said, expect...
