Francoise Bosteels: Bangalore, India; Francoise Bosteels is an Iconic-Doll maker. She calls her dolls ‘Iconic’ because every human person in her/his unadorned humanity images the Divine. These dolls designate sacred representations and spaces. Francoise has created three books - 'The Dolls Speak', 'Through the Needle’s Eye' and 'Human Icons, Sacred Stories' - all illustrated with fantastic photographs of her dolls. Set in the right background these dolls narrate stories of people, their professions, their struggles and their beliefs. The simplicity of her creation and the complex stories that these dolls represent have had great impact on people’s life that went far beyond her own expectations. As she reveals: The Divine has taken her by surprise. At night, she creates dolls and almost disappears in what takes shape. In utter silence and solitude she searches and finds the roots of the human, the cosmic and the Divine encounter. The creative delight that she draws from this encounter bears these fruits of sacred art.
