All markings and cloth aging was done by Philip.
Heath explains his philosophy: "I wish to make dolls that express an
emotional quality, which is the reason the portrait theme is
particularly interesting to me. I try to make the finished doll
'speak' its own individual message."
British-born Heath is worldly, having traveled through Europe, Asia,
Malaysia, Africa, the Philippines and the United States. It was
during these journeys that he became aware of and was deeply affected
by the desperate living conditions of many of the world's children,
and he began to focus his work on bringing attention to their plight.
He developed pairs of dolls that presented a unique before-and-after
concept in the life of a child. His "Lost and Found" and "Past and
Present" series brought forth such outstanding dolls as Leila, Adrian,
Alma, Shashiben, Precious, Xima and Jewel, each representing an ethnic
culture and a depiction of that child first in poverty and
hopelessness, then in security and normalcy.
