Disregarding the cautionary tale Toy Story, artists Rebecca Selleck and Tom Buckland have spent the past few months encouraging children to tear apart old soft toys and reassemble them into new, sometimes terrifying creations. Those handiworks will come to life today in The Home for Unloved Animals exhibition at the Art, Not Apart festival — both artists agree this doll is the creepiest of the bunch. 📷: Jake Evans
