Heidi really loves soft sculpture and puppets, whilst having an intense obsession with the absence of humans and often replaces them with ‘Dogs’ (or vague animal-like forms that could be dogs). She dabbles in plush and kitsch which allows for exaggerated gestures and unnatural positions to have a confident existence, much to some audience’s confusion. Whilst feeding off the sugary nectar of uncanny theory, Heidi felt that there was room for inspection in the necessity of uncanny elements which is where the ‘Lights on’ uncanny theory was born. Maybe a slight rejigs of what counts as Uncanny, especially within aesthetic, could allow for a modern audience to once again have that raw, uncomfortable realisation that something is very wrong with that ‘Dog’.
