My interpretation of The Expelled(plus The Calmative and The End) by Samuel Beckett. These four 'dolls' depict the characters including the narrator(protagonist), comedian and young boy(with his goat). The quotes for the dolls are from The Calmative.
All dolls are hand made with found objects and hand cast pieces.
"They were the perishing oaks immortalised by d’Aubigne. … Yes, no matter where you stood, in this little wood,
and were it in the furthest recess of its poor secrecies,
you saw on every hand the gleam of this pale light, promise of God knows what fatuous eternity."
"He was telling a funny story about a fiasco.
Its point escaped me. He used the word snail or slug, to the delight of all present."
"Without letting go of his goat he moved right up against me and offered me a sweet out of a twist of paper such as you could buy for a penny. … The sweets were stuck together and I had my work cut out to separate the top one, a green one, from the others, but he helped me and his hand brushed mine. "
"I’ll never come back here, I said.
But when with a thrust of both hands against the rim of the capstan I heaved myself up I found facing me a young boy holding a goat by a horn. I sat down again. He stood there silent looking at me without visible fear or revulsion."
