Now that I've moved, I finally have space for my mannequin! Last winter the store I work at got new mannequins and didn't need the old ones anymore, and I wasn't going to pass up a free mannequin, so he's just been waiting in my parents basement for a year.

He hasn't got a name yet. He needs repainting and a few minor repairs, so I figure I should wait until after that to name him. Especially since I'd like to try adding some clay or something to his face to make it less chiselled. I guess he can just be called Mr. Fibreglass in the meantime.

Mr. Fibreglass is currently wearing a ram skull mask I made for a college assignment, a very simple stretch knit hood/cowl thing I made to go under the mask, a dagged robe I made in 2016, a pair of boots I got secondhand years ago (which are vinyl and in bad shape and do not keep my feet warm At All, so it's ok that I had to cut a slit in one of them to be able to put him back on the stand), a necklace I got from the thrift store, and a pair of very cheap fishnets that I don't remember buying. He'll be wearing this for quite a while because mannequins are very uncooperative and frustrating to dress.

These remarkable and unconventional mannequins were sculpted by Pierre Imans--an early 20th century French mannequin manufacturer who utilized wax, real hair, glass eyes, and even makeup to make his mannequins as realistic as possible (some of the faces are still a bit stylized, however, making them off-putting to some people).

Imans is notable for creating the first mannequin of color (modeled after a combination of singer and activist Josephine Baker and a famous Erté painting titled "Queen of Sheba"), as well as creating a lesbian couple that would be displayed at an exhibit called "The Streets of Paris" in 1920.

Early 19th Century Life-Size Articulated Artist's Mannequin - Paul Huot, c. 1800

From the seller, Arnie Barnicoat:

This figure was owned by my late husband John Barnicoat. He was offered her in 1972 when he was head of Falmouth School of Art. She was originally placed on a large wooden stand which we disposed of at the time. This was in 1972. We were both drawn to her as an art object, a life sized ‘doll’, due to the way she was made and we had a true appreciation of her qualities. We always had her seated on a little wooden French antique chair in corners of our various living rooms: From a stone village house in Cornwall to homes in London and Hertfordshire. We named her Muriel after a French film of the same name 1963 directed by Alain Resnais. This makes me wonder if we had been told at the time that she was French. I don’t remember. We have never attempted to renovate her in anyway. Strange as it may seem she was always a ‘member’ of our family and always referred to as ‘Muriel’. It is a wrench to see her leave us.

Based on collection descriptions, it appears that Muriel may have been purchased by the Cambridge University's Fitzwilliam Museum for their exhibition, Silent Partners: Artist & Mannequin, from Function to Fetish.
