Worry Dolls

  • Emily Eaton

An exhibition of phobia-provoked objects, 'Worry Dolls' tested my lockdown crafting skills in a way that asked me to curate each element individually and as a collection. Building on the original Guatemalan concept of the worry doll, I aimed to create objects for a user to interact with on the level of bringing the unknown and unknowable of irrational fear into the region of the tactile and knowable.
