The china shop's next door

Dorcas Casey certainly knows how to let sleeping bulls lie.

Shssssssush - don't wake him

In her own words she creates sculptures that appear to be both

uncanny and ambiguous.  For her the pieces she creates

embody a myriad of emotions and sensations,

.

Sitting down on the job

Dorcas is an obsessive collector hanging on to things which

might well come in handy one day when she will restore

them to life in another incarnation.  Using craft based processes

such as hand stitching and malleable materials like gloves,

socks and clothing fabrics she transforms them into her

figurative masterpieces.

Saddled up and ready to go

Dorcas has the ability to make marginal, discarded and

outmoded items return to centre stage as powerful presences.

She has a First Class BA Hons Fine Art: Sculpture from the

Winchester School of Art and also studied at the

University of Seville in Andulasia.

I wonder what these were in a former life?
