Christy Lou Sexton is an American artist whose body of work is known as Dolls and Dead Things. She is based in Las Cruces, New Mexico.[1]
Doll design edit
Largely this work consists of dolls made by combining pre-manufactured fashion doll parts with hand sculpted heads and occasional other features. All of the costumes and accessories are made by hand without the use of sewing machines or patterns.[2] The dolls are inspired by historical villains, story characters and old legends.[3] There are also entirely handmade rag dolls and hand sculpted figurines sometimes produced by Sexton within the Dolls and Dead Things brand.[citation needed]
Exhibitions edit
The dolls have been exhibited in a variety of places including the annual Altered Barbie exhibit and several magazines in the horror genre.[3][4][unreliable source?][5]
