Collage Critters: Fairytails
introducing
The Collage Critters is a collection of collage pieces I have made over the years, depicting animal heads on human bodies. They each have a personality, style, and story; you'll recognize some of them in the works Tou & Woody, Yaakov, and Desire to Touch (see Posters).
Fairytails is the collection of Critters that are inspired by traditional fairytale characters. For my undergrad senior project, I made these characters into the form of paper dolls. Over the semester, I designed and created four Fairytail characters: Alice in Wonderland (with a rabbit head), Little Red Riding Hood (with a wolf head), The Little Mermaid (with a fish head), and the princess from Princess and the Frog (with a frog head).
Each doll comes with a hand-drawn scene/storybook zine, accessories, and is sealed in an art nouveau design inspired package.
