I love the thought of these characters from various fairy-tales living in a perpetual state of wanting to relive their big moment. . .the 15 min of fame – if you will. Always on the lookout for another child to come around and play.
The Dodo sculpture created by polyscene using silver wire, acid free tissue paper and copper walking stick.
After Tenniel from his illustration for Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’. Lewis Carroll’s (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson’s) use of the Dodo in his book is a reference to himself, he had a stutter and very frequently pronounced his name “Do-do-dodgson”.
Here the Dodo is about to take flight from his paper chrysanthemum. This flower is created using a ancient Chinese modular money folding technique.
