The familiar and the strange merge exquisitely in Alake Shilling’s inimitable world — welcoming us to reflect on the boundless yet universal nature of human emotion.
"Jolly Bear has a train, they are best friends and they never leave each other's side... I would like people to see these sculptures and hold them and feel like laughing. I want them to feel giggly and feel like they are talking to a friend maybe. I want them to feel joyful, um, that's all." - Alake Shilling
