Spoonfed: A Doll. $2200 Gazing upward with a rather tragic-comic expression of pathos, Spoonfed was Not being one to forego a challenge, I sat in my studio puzzling over what a doll meant to me in context of my concerns with found materials. The little creature first peeked out from an overturned spoon bowl, but it was the addition of large black bean pods as ears that set him off and running. His back bristles, literally, being a Victorian wooden hair brush, and sprays of steel wool 'hair' emerge from all over this little goblin, giving him an unkempt, grizzled countenance. As a table object, he will be better placed rather low, so the viewer towers over him, giving his questioning stare added humor. His dripping spoon hovers over a soup bowl, as if he is pausing for permission to, as it were, eat his words.
