Doll Face
© Richard A. Kirk 2012
The novel I'm writing, Necessary Monsters, deals a lot with the idea of things that look human. By this I mean things that are not human but on the surface look familiar. Artistically, I'm interested in the way time and decay can take those points of superficial similarity and draw them further apart. The doll's face does not age the way a human face does. Perhaps this is where the creepiness factor of old dolls lies? The owners mind initially imbues the doll with life and then time renders it unfamiliar, other.
Richard.
