millie ansell

millie ansell is a fine art and creative writing sculpture student whose work explores the theme of vulnerability and a lost childhood. her process involves twisting familiar objects of comfort into more malignant items, using trauma to inspire ideas of loss and fragility. after experimenting with transforming fabric into solid forms and producing dummies and changing mats out of concrete, she started to develop her method of dipping baby clothes into hot paraffin wax and shaping the stiffening fabric into eerie forms. by taking these empty shells and staging them in personally emotive settings, she confers meaning in domestic sites and evokes memories of twisted nostalgia.

my studio practice

my work explores themes of vulnerability and a lost childhood. i wanted to reproduce and twist familiar objects that we find comfort in by transforming them into sinister replica’s. i display my work outside of the studio in intimate, emotive settings with the aim of using my own trauma to evoke uncomfortable nostalgia in a viewer. after experimenting with transforming fabric into solid forms and producing dummies and changing mats out of concrete, i started to develop my method of dipping baby clothes into hot paraffin wax and shaping the stiffening fabric into eerie forms.

the four pieces i have worked on in my final year are my wax clothing sets, my hair bears, my cement baby changing mat and my concrete dummies.
