Nicky Newham – Original Paper Doll

Description

Nicky Newham is an original paper doll inspired by a young man my daughter was playing with one day at a cafe in Newham. This paper doll commemorates the peculiar beauty of those those fleeting moments of connection with a stranger, particularly between children. Although they’ve never met before they play together as though they have always known each other and will be friends forever. These moments are simple and unburdened by the expectations of past interactions or future encounters. In that moment, even though they didn’t know each other, they were friends. The paper doll probably doesn’t even look like the real boy, it doesn’t need to, it’s merely a representation of the magic of impermanence.

This paper doll is ready to become your own character, a decorative item or a project to while away a quiet afternoon.

It comes in three options allowing you to purchase the doll that best suits your needs. A downloadable colour-in that will be automatically emailed to you and two physical options, a pre-coloured card ready to be cut and assembled, and a deluxe edition that comes assembled, signed and numbered that will be posted within a few days of the order.
