Collette Rothnie
28 Feb - 31 Mar 2012
A professional printmaker and artist. Collette's work is about the influence of the doll on mankind using bold and stunning images and crafted with a keen eye and passion for her craft..
"I chose the doll as my subject because of the important role that it plays in our every day lives. The doll has influenced and inspired me to create works of art as an artist. The main focus of my work will be to show how the doll affects all of our lives without us being conscious of it and how it has influenced us in both past and present times. The doll is much more than a play thing for children as we are often led to believe. The doll itself has a bigger priority in the role of mankind than first realise. It has a part in our every day existence which is more extensive than we think. It is a silent image, yet not silent, as it has a greater influence on the way we present, and live our lives in today’s society."
