Lily Lucinda

Her strange body called on me in a flee market, it’s all grown up but only a little over 1m high. Strange how her petite and very cheap blonde appearance put a spell on me. Only after a few years I decided to enhance her blondness to the max. I finished her in the year of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, A space Odyssey. Wondering about the evolution, about Lucy – our first walking ancestor. How blond became the most wanted colour. How we almost completely lost our fur and how we now want to be as naked as possible, shaving every last bit, acting like we are in complete control over the beast in us.
