dolls – Humoring the Goddess

Doll creator, painter, sculptor, and visionary, Debra Klopp Kersey has been creating her dark and wistful art for almost two decades.

Klopp Kersey creates one-of-a-kind dolls and works of art for that unique person who wants something special and thought provoking.

She sculpts each of the clay heads, and designs her own soft bodies and costumes for each one individually.

Klopp Kersey creates a unique feel for each doll and painting — dark and eerie, yet somehow enchanting.

There are no molds, no machines, no mass production lurking in the background; just the artist sculpting each odd little soul from scratch.

Because of that, every doll is a true one‑of‑a‑kind original.

Freya Jobbins is a contemporary German/Australian multidisciplinary artist based near Sydney where her practice includes assemblage, installation, video, collage and printmaking.

Jobbins is a South African born, Australian artist whose life reads like a classic fantasy tale – albeit with distinctively modern twists.Jobbins’ detailed sculptures uses the dismembered body pieces of dolls and toys as parts to create humanoid assemblages of faces, heads and larger busts. An incredible amount of labor goes into each piece, from the exploration of form and the use of color to make each anatomical amalgamation.Jobbins describes this process as, an artistic exploration of the relationship between consumerism and the culture of up-cycling and recycling. “Nowadays, children ‘need’ the latest toys, discarding last week’s fads to start collecting another line of toys. This leads to me finding more and more toys that are in perfect condition available to me to create even more work,” Jobbins says.More of Freya Jobbins‘ extremely unique artwork can be found at https://www.freyajobbins.com/.
