Alice Anderson at the Riflemaker

Anderson has been working with dolls, models and mannequins for several years. For this show at the Riflemakers she showed a number of pieces of work, including one site specific piece on the ground floor in which she filled the room with over a thousand meters of fake dolls hair that extended out of the door and up to the second floor.



Downstairs in a darkened room, was a video titled "the night i became a doll" and a silicon mask of the artists face, and finally on the top floor were a series of models, featuring dolls created from the doll hair.

The show overall had a very flowing feel, each work connected to the others without feeling repetitive, the art worked particularly well within the gallery, which is an amazing space. Downstairs, lit only by the light of the projected film, the space had an eerie air, especially with the amazingly accurate mask in the corner. Although there was not much work in the small gallery the quality of Andersons work made for a memorable experience and i will be looking out for her work in future.
