Fabric Figures & Found Art Figures

Fabric Figures & Found Art Figures

“Fabric figures and found art figures are small scale human representations which can tell us something about the human condition. All cultures throughout the ages have made miniature representations of the human form.”

“Fabric figures or rag dolls serve as playthings for children, who learn life’s lessons through play. Children learn how to nurture other people by taking care of fabric figures, rag dolls or puppets. We give children fabric figures or dolls when they are about to embark upon important journeys, to give them a sense of security. When dolls accompany children, they carry a piece of home with them.” Sharon Kilfoy
