    This doll must be hungry!

  • Colleen Farrell replied

    Thank you, herman … the doll is a vegetarian, though; she doesn’t eat pigs. ;)

    Could be our won soul, trying to get free from the layers of subjective composition of our inner landscape. The piggies…are scattered… not to remembering the “counting of sheeps” that usually are related with sleeping. I feel that this is a daydreaming situation of part of our soul…in which, sometimes, we would gladly get away from the responsabilitites and sense od decay of our flesh body… dolls seems to be eternal, but they are not… and the dream reflects clearly that no one can hide from this whole reality.
    I love the mood, texturizing and symbolic presence here…goo!!
