Fantasyland | Stephen Gray
Fantasyland is a continuation of my work originating from the deconstruction and recombination of childhood toys. Stylistically in the tradition of comic grotesque, many of the pieces are akin to fetishes or power objects, often exhibiting a perverse humor to them. Stuffed animals and plastic toys are disassembled and reinvented to form strange new creations. Each new βtoyβ is a remembrance and a resurrection, a mirror to our inner thoughts and motivations.
