Masters of Fine Art photographer Leah Millinship presents a body of work entitled Le Bambole: Through the Eyes of Dolls. This intriguing collection explores notions of family-identity and belonging through a precious collection of bizarre and eclectic dolls; salvaged and lovingly restored by Alice Torresani-Visintainer (the artists’ paternal Nonna, Grandmother). Seemingly brought ‘back-to-life’ through the scanning process, these detailed and tactile images create a diverse set of mesmerising portraits, encouraging an exploration of one’s own relationship to dolls and their inanimate faces.
Leah Millinship is a photographer who explores notions of family and identity through the intimate narrative of the collected object.
