About Me
About Me
I was born in the early 80s to my Fleetwood Mac loving parents and I am a pink-haired, ADHD, disabled tattooed lover of all things weird and wonderful, inspired by charity-shop treasure hunts, David Lynch dream logic, 70s rock riffs, old cameras, and dreamy wanders along Brighton Beach.
Living with Functional Neurological Disorder, my work has become my way of channelling my experiences and struggles into a creative process — embracing imperfection, uncertainty and the beauty of things that don’t fit the mould.
I hope that my art challenges ideas of what is precious, what is waste, and what deserves to be seen.
About Sarah’s Doll Parts
For years now I have loved vintage and secondhand and even spent a few years running salvage shops in recycling centres. My home is like a personal curiosity shop and dolls have always been a big feature in my collection having collected them for years.
I will scour charity shops, car boots and the local recycling centres collecting the forgotten and discarded porcelain dolls — the misfits that would otherwise end up in landfill — and I deconstruct, clean and then rebuild these forgotten objects transforming them into quirky floral sculptures, vases, jewellery holders and one-off decorative pieces. After seeing how many went to landfill, and no longer having any space to home anymore, I started to look for other ways they could be used and Sarah’s Doll Parts was born.
Each item is an entirely unique handmade one off piece. Every doll will go through a lengthy process of deconstruction, heavy cleaning and then handmade decorations are applied. These will be slowly layered up whether that is through block painting or applying each tattoo decoration by hand.
Each floral porcelain doll head that is created is given a new name to match her personality as every one is totally unique.
I am always happy to take custom orders on any of the items I create if you are after a particular colour or decoration.
Always gaining strong reactions, Sarah’s Doll Parts is unapologetically marmite…you will love it or hate it.
About Wolf in the Attic Vintage
As well as my love for the curious I studied fashion and adore vintage clothing and have collected (or hoarded as some might say) quite the collection over the years. I bring you some of my favourite pieces from my collection focusing primarily on 70s and 80s fashion.
