In this captivating mixed-media sculpture, Deb Sterna presents a whimsical yet stately figure, "Brass 'Mom' Dolly," seated on an old Schilling Poultry Seasoning tin. The use of repurposed brass adds a luxurious, golden sheen to the piece, with intricate details in the figure’s adornments. The doll’s face, with its delicate blush and wide, innocent eyes, contrasts sharply with the industrial materials, evoking both nostalgia and innovation. The brass arms, legs, and mechanical gears create an unexpected blend of elegance and quirkiness. This unique, heavy doll piece combines the past and present in a fascinating narrative of maternal grace and strength.
