These characters were created based on the artist’s co workers.... seemingly opposites of each other. But actually, there is a bit of each in all of us, and together they create the stability much needed in our everyday life. Both express much more than positivity or negativity....... The pessimist doll features droopy eyes, while the optimist has a big smile, but both feature bendable arms that can exclaim in joy or lower in frown. Whether you are one, or the other, both express the possibility of change of perception, depending on your state of mind.

Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist who creates site specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings.The materials used in his art include brightly coloured flowers, leaves, mud, pine cones, stones, twigs, thorns ... even snow and icicles!
He has been quoted saying “ I think it’s incredibly brave to be working with flowers and leaves and petals. But I have to: I can’t edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole.”
Land Art is an art movement in which the work of art and the landscape are inextricably linked. It is created using organic materials. Sculptures are not ‘placed’ in nature, but are born out of it, designed specifically for their context.
