His love for the fashion industry led him to an unexpected proposal - to restore boudoir dolls, created in 1920. The artist plunged into this project.
Characters (edit) Dustin, with great interest, were received by the audience.
Dustin comments:
“I learned a lot while working with antique dolls and realized that I lack more expressive faces, emotions and gestures. And then it dawned on me - to create such characters, I have to start sculpting them. "
“Ideas come to me from many sources; personal experience, emotions and unique finds ”.
“I love working with vintage antique fabrics. I feel that the use of these unique materials adds authenticity to the characters. "
"The idea comes from a clear image in my head ..."
“My work is very personal, and I have to be completely immersed in the story of what I am going to do ... An idea arises from a clear image in my head, and then work begins with clay, other materials, with the help of which I try to create new forms and impressions “. In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”

Dustin reasons:
“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 experiments. You are buying years of reflection and moments of pure joy. You get not only a thing, but you get a part of the heart, soul, a small part of the author's life. "
“I'm not going to stop, and in the future, I will delight you with new images. I am very pleased to see how people respond to my art. Each reaction means that the characters have triggered an emotion. This is what makes me develop, improve further ”.
