What are these strange creatures?
These odd dolls are not something you will find in a toy store. They are
hardly something you would buy for a child. They are misproportioned,
strangely dressed, and they have a story and character uniquely their
own.
Each doll is entirely hand made using polymer clays, vintage fabrics,
acrylic paint, and sometimes real human hair or teeth. Each piece is one
of a kind.
Beth Robinson began making and selling hand made dolls in 2003. She is
a prolific artist with collectors across the globe.
Her dolls have been featured in the magazines: SPIN, "Stuff" in the US,
"Maxim UK" and "Maxim Hong Kong," "Rue Morgue" in Canada, and "Nokia CP"
in Turkey.
Her dolls have appeared in galleries throughout the USA as well as in
England, The Netherlands and Germany. She is currently represented in
the Netherlands by cabinodd.com,
in Berlin, London & NYC by Strychnin
Gallery, and in Vermont by The
Lazy Pear Gallery
"Now here's a doll May Canaday would make if she watched The Brothers
Quay Collection while listening to Nightmare Picture Theatre and hadn't
slept in a week. Weird, misshapen and tortured, these unusual handmade
dolls are...definitely not for children, unless you want them to have
nightmares." -Rue Morgue, 2005
