Dolls and soft toys are strange and lend animation to a still life. When arranging
objects the difference in scale and the vividness of the colours you find in toys can be
used to create an atmosphere of light-heartedness but are very often also slightly
disturbing. This image has a claustrophobic quality because large elements are placed
at the back and the front space is crowded with smaller objects.
