Late 2002, in an effort to curb her burgeoning collection of antique meathooks and decimated watches, Fiona Dalwood started assembling her neverending pile of junk into 3D collages via the oft-neglected medium of porcelain dolls.

Since then, what started out an an innocent Sunday trip to a suburban op-shop has blossomed into an unhealthy obsession with childish violence and whimsical destruction. And while it can be said that the works themselves are not dangerous, they offer a glimpse into the perils of leaving grown-up kids to their own devices.

Fi has exhibited her work in several shows around Melbourne, Australia.  Some of her dolls can be found in various boutiques, bars and loungerooms across the city.
