Little Shop of Horrors meets LEGO Belville as Audrey II turns over a new leaf
LEGO’s Belville dolls are such strange and wonderful creations – a product of the late ’90s that looks like they came from a much earlier decade – which is probably why the dolls work so well in the amazing nostalgia-steeped dioramas of Victoria Worsley. They’re especially perfect in Victoria’s homage to ’60s set Little Shop Continue reading →
