Most recently,  a growing fascination with the strange, baleful, eerie power that dolls hold over us has led Vicky to create "Alpha Girls" - a body of work that has inspired Vicky's art to evolve into the medium of short film.  The dolls, 26 in total - each representing a letter of the alphabet where created by Vicky through a series of textile, soft sculptures laid dormant for years, before a move into film brought them to life.

From  "The Alpha Girls", was born the sinister and playful, grotesquely comic "Mutant Babies", crafted in the same way, these  happily-wounded, Shamanic creatures often lacking serious body parts, soon became the next artistic conduit to Vicky's melancholic charm. A collection that has now enjoyed global recognition spearheaded by support from internationally revered artist Richard Wilson, who chose the "Mutant Babies" film to appear  alongside a series of film pieces at the RA's Summer Show - a first for the genre to be included in this way.
