DDNEWS' March choice: In memory of Dustin Roshe
Dustin Roche, a talented artist and author of dolls, whose work has won acclaim and love all over the world, has passed away. He created original images that were unique, the author was unlike anyone else. In the dolls of Dustin Roche you see a reflection of his life stories, the rich inner world of the master. The artist found his inspiration in his love of vintage fashion and his experience in the fashion industry, where his career involved costume design, textiles and illustration.
Sincere condolences to the family and friends of Dustin Rose. The world has lost a wonderful artist and a wonderful human being. His soul will remain forever in his work!
My work is very personal, I immerse myself in my fantasies.
I learned a lot from working with antique dolls, but something was missing in the end result. I imagined characters with more expressive faces, emotions and gestures. To identify these characters, I realised that I had to start sculpting them.
When you buy an artist's work, you are buying more than an object. Along with your work, you get hundreds of hours of mistakes and experimentation. You are buying years of reflection and moments of pure joy. You're not just getting an object, but you're getting a piece of the heart, a soul, a small part of the author's life.
