Artwork Statement
Fast fashion refers to the cycle of production, distribution, and marketing that both creates and feeds an appetite for the frequent consumption of and discarding of clothing; a binge consumption that can only survive on a diet of poor quality, high-speed manufacture and low wages.
The idea of Worry Dolls is in the name “Worry Doll,” the worry is there for us to hold, see, feel and ponder.  Each Doll was made with the idea of “slow art” the opposite of what “fast fashion” represents. Every 10 minutes, Australians dump 15 tonnes of clothing and fabric waste. That adds up to 800,000 tonnes, or 31 kilograms per person, every year.
In such a fast world I ask you, what does it look like to walk, create, experience slow and take note of your surroundings? To consume with curiosity and not just rapidity? “The installation raises a lot of questions without necessarily providing solutions, or is the solution to reuse to create something new again.”
