Teddy's

This is Teddy's by Jenny Harman-Scott. It is very creepy because it plays on childhood fears of things like toys that come to life. I'm not sure how well this image fits into the uncanny theme of our work (because the teddies only vaguely resemble humans). There is something about the eyes that gives them an extremely disturbing suggestion of consciousness. I also like the dark sepia tone colours used in the painting it adds to the creepy atmosphere.
