I am drawn to the number three again when thinking of these dolls. Maybe there could be an Emma, Judy and Terry Baker doll? I was actually thinking about my obsession with collections and groups of objects and where this may have come from. To tell you the truth I was lying in bed and instead of sleeping was giving it some serious thought. I think there is safety in numbers. I like to fill my home with numerous collections of found, vintage treasures, perhaps to keep me safe. This could be why I like to group things together, so they themselves are safe. I also realised in the same early hours of this morning that I like to group things in threes or multiples of threes. The work I did for the first MA exhibition was all in groups of nine. Since the death of my brother there are only three Bakers left. Could this be where the three comes in to it? Maybe I need to keep reminding myself that there are just the three of us now and so what better way than to create three dolls of me, Mum and Dad.
I have probably just raised more questions than I have answers but I feel they are important ones that I will continue to ponder. Whilst I'm thinking I shall do some drawing work. That's a promise.
