1. The strange coincidence that a random antique flea market doll looked similar to her aunt inspired her work. Annie was from London and later traveled to New York where she came across the dolls. Seeing the resemblance between the dolls and others, she moved forward with that theme in her photographs. Each doll and each picture has a meaning to her and Annie has kept the dolls throughout her journey of work.
2. The photos above are a few photos from Annie taking a person and turning them into the doll. This has been her inspiration and theme since she came across the first doll in New York. Not limiting herself to find the dolls, she used people as the main focus to match. She spent countless time working with her subjects in New York and wanted to created a match so simply, that it was crazy.
3. Reading the background to Annie Collinge's work, the fact she was afraid of dolls like her subjects is crazy. Sometimes artist take their fears and turn them into their best work. What Annie has deiced to make photographs of is such a genius idea. It reminds me of them people take the old time photos or recreation moments from childhood. Annie Collinge's models and dolls match so close it makes ones mind turn.
