Silver modelled the pieces in clay, using shop mannequins’ faces as a starting point and then letting each work develop its own characteristic and personality. Once kiln-fired, each head is then treated with coloured inks and acrylic lending them a painterly air. The artist regards the works as individuals from a rather dream-like family, familiar yet slightly surreal.
