Hew Locke Menace to Society These ‘fetish’ dolls were inspired by press reports of boy soldiers carrying British weapons in Sierra Leone and by stories of Yardies in Britain. They also reflect an on-going interest in the souvenir ‘dolls-of-the-world’, available in national dress at every international airport. These however are made of toy dolls and toy guns, cheap pound-store ephemera and crochet fragments, all gathered in Brixton. The Menace to Society series speaks of the Western fear of, and desire for, the Exotic.
