I am preparing my residency and have begun to concentrate on the symbolism of dolls in traditional and contemporary Japan. My previous trip to Tokyo strongly influenced one of my previous projects Ningyo (doll in English) in Mori Gallery. Ningyo lies at the intersection of artistic and medical practices by dealing with Anorexia Nervosa. For this site specific work, I sought real life stories to create a fictional intimate diary and a living picture for the opening night. In the two pictures above, the model (Rhiannon Bulley photographed by Kent Johnson) was doll like and acted a series of living pictures inspired by the French tradition of tableaux vivants and the inscrutable mysteries of Japanese dolls.
