A look into the surreal!

I stumbled across the work of rose skinner the other day, check out her website at www.roseskinner.com.

It just really pops! Her installations seem to exist in a surreal, Alice in Wonderland type world. Initially they may seem very appealing, with their bright colours and playful elements. However, there is something definitely disturbing about them. It's partly due to the overload of information and the skewed angles. Also as you look closer, there are vacantly staring dolls heads, unattached from their bodys, mutated toys (think Toy Story and the toys at Sid's house!), limp hanging mannequins ......

I would absolutely love to experience one of these pieces in real life!
