Exhibition History
I See Red, 5 December 2007 - 23 November 2008
Caution: playing with sharp things equals danger! This strange doll in her crimson red dress has no time for games, and holds her rusty shears as if to say stay away. Shears are usually for clipping sheep’s wool, but this doll is no farmer’s helper. She’s no toy either; the only play she welcomes now is from the viewer’s imagination.
