THE WALL

Working with Alice Rigby, we choose to interpret this brief as a metaphorical barrier that can divide and isolate individuals or groups that are in someway identified as being 'different'. Prejudice is often acquired without reason and based solely on the appearance of the victimised.
We choose to represent a number of widespread prejudices by creating a series of 'golliwog' style dolls. Universally recognised as a racist symbol, the golliwog represents hate, ignorance and injustice. The fact they are dolls strips away the personality of the individual and their ability to communicate and defend themselves.
