The title for this series was chosen through Stockdale’s usual method of ‘random’ selection, Paper Doll is serendipitous and is just as its title alludes; it is the act of play, of making, and of creating in response to the moment, a person, a conversation with the process of ‘collaging’ images being as much about intuition and chance, as it is about Stockdale’s immaculately trained eye for composition and aesthetic Stockdale has created a parade of characters, a sublime combination of pastiche seventies paper dolls described as being “reminiscent of the images in Cole's Funny Picture Book” which are coupled with the fervour of her imagination.
