Sea Maidens. Forest Rogers dolls
Forest Rogers is the consummate master of Fantasy&Horror dolls. Her figurative sculptures seem incredibly realistic and evoke contradictory feelings.
The sculptor has beautiful memories from her childhood, such as sculpting a frog out of sand with her mother when she was two or three years old (there's even a photo of that moment on Rogers' official website). Or of her grandparents' house, "which was like a time machine". Forest's favourite place in that house was the bookcase, filled with volumes illustrated by Rackham, Nielsen, Dulac and other authors. "I used to sit on the floor for hours and study those shelves. I feel like I'm rummaging through the universe for my ideas now, just as I was searching for treasure in this house then..."
Forrest Rogers' Sea Maidens is a series of particularly exquisite sculptures that straddle the line between the real and fictional world. It is difficult to calculate the amount of time the artist spent creating each such creation. The craftsmanship of the creator is incredible and we can only stand in mute admiration as we surrender to the effects of these magical enchantments.
