This mini-documentary tells a story of the Canadian artist, Marina Bychkova’s unique enchanted dolls . When she started making her first doll at six year old, she never thought her dolls would sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars 25 years later. “More than mere playthings, Enchanted Dolls are a brand of elegantly sculpted and articulated works of art. Adorned with elaborate costumes and graced with precious gemstones, metals, and rare found objects, each ball-jointed porcelain doll intricately conveys an aspect of our humanity.” – Marina Bychkova
Unmaking of a ceramic sculpture. ‘I don’t’ want to grow up’ is performed by Ramones and was originally written by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan. I first heard it on Bob Dylan’s ‘Theme Time Radio Hour’ show and loved it. I had it on repeat as I was doing this piece, which is titled after it.
