I make these stuffed animals/dolls to give my old clothing a second life, from a compulsion to transform all available materials around me into art. The sum of these material parts ends up being a shrine-like object or spiritual fetish creation. While I make them, tactility and weight... feeling, become the way in which I gauge the quality of the piece. Basically, it's an attempt to get the thing to 'feel' comforting and complete. They are filled with gemstones, polyfil, and other secret objects.
