Everlong – Mixed Media Doll
Creative Media Major“My artwork as a whole often centers around mixed-media, and I hardly ever create something only using one medium, method, or material. I wanted to exemplify that process with this project, highlighting the layers of material and stitching rather than hiding them, because to me the process is just as important as the finished project.” // “This is a project that I have been yearning to execute for years, and it’s exciting to realize that I finally have the skills and opportunity to do so. I put together the little bits and pieces of inspiration and ideas I’ve gathered over the years, drawing heavily from elements of nature, grunge style and art and the DIY scene that embraces traditional and “rough” artwork.”
“Now that I’ve gotten to experiment with and learn about the process and grow my skills, doll making is something I’m excited to continue to pursue in the near future, and I hope to create a group of dolls that share the same stylistic elements that I’ve highlighted in this project.”
