Who's Your Dada - Redefining the Doll

Description

Yay ... It's Here

Who's Your Dada? Redefining the Doll through Mixed-Media
by Linda and Opie O'Brien

Inspired from the Dada notion of making art from materials that would not typically be combined and written with our sense of irony and humor, this book features the work of 40 artists who define a doll AND share their process with you.

In addition, Opie and I offer step by step instructions for working with 5 very different substrates: a wood block - two-sided canvas - tin - a book - and a box construction - our various methods of attachment and joinery and how we work with apoxie sculpt.
There are variation projects from our students AND an inspiring gallery of mixed-media dolls from some of the best artists EVER plus a bonus visual progression project from the amazing Keith Lo Bue.

This book has been described as a "must have" volume for anyone interested in found object art and the human form - but it is also a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the power, symbolism and cultural significance of dolls and representational figures -- and as is our style -- it's chock full of whimsy!
