Valerie Bunnell describes her figures as being “explorations of spirit which exists between the make-believe and the real”. She locates her characters in this in-between place by drawing on her imagination, memory, and experience of nature and culture. As she carves, textures and marks the clay, a narrative identity emerges. Found objects, both natural and man-made inform this identity as well.
