Doll therapy is an emerging technique that is implemented across many care homes in the country and has been proven to subside anxiety felt by dementia sufferers.
Taking inspiration from a personal experience of whitnessing a relatives response to the technique, i have created a body of work that encapsulates the merging of the child and adult realms as a result of a sufferers regression in adopting child-like tendencies. The project reflects my profound interest in sensory materials as well as my desire to create the juxtaposed feelings of comfort and discomfort.
