I would love to have these doll-sculptures in my home, they are such clever miniature subversions of prim and happy porcelain figurines, having a dimension of interest that the traditional harmlessly sweet figurines never possess.


There’s an interview with Jessica Harrison here, about this series and some of her other work, including her Motor Mouth installation, an image from which is below.

I have a sort of thing for stylized, whimsical, skinned/medical/anatomical-themed rabbits, so I really like this.

Her work combines female and animal figures in a bizarre, sinuous, whimsical, and wispy luxurious style. Animal skulls, eviscerated furry creatures, and surreal woman/animal combinations are dominant themes. Languorous, morbidly lovely and erotic, sometimes tender, her sketches and paintings are both casual and mythical, and creepily delicious. Here’s a selection of her art:


I have this hanging up as a print on the wall of my bedroom.
