South Africa-born artist Freya Jobbins collects discarded children’s dolls and toys to create bizarre humanoid assemblages of faces, heads and larger busts.
“My work explores the relationship between consumerist fetishism and the emerging recycling culture within the visual arts. Due to our society’s over consumption of plastic children’s toys, the materials I need for my assemblages are all very accessible,” Jobbins explains.
Although some viewers might find these collages disturbing or creepy, the artist says she sees them as her humorous side. The other side of her art is printmaking, which she considers to represent her true voice.
