Saturday's WeiRD and wOndERfUl:

Sarah Louise Davey

"Opening this coming Saturday at Philadelphia’s Jinxed Galleryis a solo exhibition of new sculptures by artist Sarah Louise Davey. Featuring the mounted heads and disembodied limbs of the ceramic figures, the works explore the dichotomy of grotesque humor and beauty in the nuance of their facial expressions and poses. Often accompanied by odd pieces of hardware embedded into their hard skins, the figures hold confrontational gazes with the viewer, inviting them into a narrative, playful dialogue. View more images of the quirky sculptures after the jump" (Text from Hi-Fructose Mag)

Wednesday Question

Ok before 2012 advances any further, did you make any New Years resolution in regards to doll making?
Did you learn any new skills last year, what were they?
What would you like to try this year?
Answers to today's questions will be posted onto this post later.
