Porcelain dolls are usually very graceful and traditional and can be found on many a grandmothers mantel. However these cool versions wouldn't look out of place down at the local tattoo parlor! Scottish artist Jessica Harrison draws sailor tattoos onto plain porcelain dolls as part of her 'Painted Ladies' series. Jessica wrote in her artists statement that her aim was “to re-describe the body in sculpture through the skin, offering an alternative way of thinking about the body beyond a binary tradition of inside and outside.” So what do you think of her cool tattooed dolls? Do you prefer them to the traditional kind? Let us know in the comments below.
