Stemming from the last idea, I had a thought about making a set of see through/ clear plastic toys. Have the same toy in repetition. Which then you can see into the inside of the toy, the collector. Either I use human parts like plastic eye balls, hair, doll hands etc. Or photographs. Perhaps I drop different coloured inks inside the clear toy representing different emotions. The anxieties and depressions that the toys absorb. But then happy bright vibrant colours which the toys can give in return.
Jason Freeny's gummy bear toy is a great example of I mean.
He's done a whole collection of toys that have skeletons inside well known popular toy characters. Giving them a skeleton implies that they are real and a life like quality to them. However, in the toys that I want to create I feel like I want to show the life of the collector being reflected and shown through the toy. But keeping separate from giving the toy life.
