I’ve also been working on the concept of reducing objects back to the sum of their parts: namely, to begin with, one of those horrible crying dolls, a kid’s woolly hat and a cassette tape.
I kind of wish that I was one of those clever people that could take something apart and then put it back together again. But I’m not! Such is life.
It’s a little macabre, sure (the objects were bought at random from a charity shop and the dump). In a way it’s looking at what these objects really are… the doll is stuffing, wires and circuit boards.
Would it be pointless to put them back together again?
