ETHNIC ECLECTIC SPIRIT FOLK ART DOLLS by GRISELDA

awesomeart's Shop Announcement

► In here you will find the alchemy of assemblage spirit dolls, lovingly made by me, one of a kind original figures and whimsical nature spirits inspired by many ethnic cultures ◄

This is a collection of eclectic mix media, folk art, shrine dolls and other works of art handcrafted with layers of cloth, homespun yarn and art fibers using found objects that together "come alive" as figments of the artist imagination...the metamorphosis of assemblage into modern day relics, where myth is alive in the memory of ancient animal totem/fetishes of the past.

This is a quote I found that closely describes what I do:

"Folklore can contain religious or mythic elements, it equally concerns itself with the sometimes mundane traditions of everyday life. Folklore frequently ties the practical and the esoteric into one narrative package. It has often been conflated with mythology, and viceversa, because it has been assumed that any figurative story that does not pertain to the dominant beliefs of the time is not of the same status as those dominant beliefs... Thus, Roman religion is called "myth" by Christians. In that way, both "myth" and "folklore" have become catch-all terms for all figurative narratives which do not correspond with the dominant belief structure."
