“Lady of the Lake”, Art Doll by Charlotte Sigurdson

Mixed media art doll titled “Lady of the Lake” by Winnipeg-based sculptor Charlotte Sigurdson is a hauntingly beautiful and intricate piece, reflecting themes of environmental decay and loss. The doll is dressed in a delicate lace gown. A cascade of mussel shells adorns the right side of the doll, crawling up her body and face, suggesting the invasive species devastating Lake Winnipeg. The moss and earthy textures on the lower part of her dress evoke nature being consumed. The figure’s pale, solemn face, partially obscured by the shells, creates an eerie, almost ethereal presence. The use of shells, lace, and other organic materials in this sculpture not only creates a stark visual contrast. Quiet, yet unsettling, she embodies the slow death of Lake Winnipeg in a deeply poetic way. Pick up around Sherbourne/ Wellesley Could ship/ deliver for a fee
