In life, Pearl Mournington visited the cemetery often. It was a peaceful place where she would wander among the graves of her ancestors and feel very much at home. Placing flowers on her Grandmother's grave, Pearl vowed she would always be there to protect and care for this sacred space. In death, her vow was not forgotten, and Pearl took on the role of cemetery gatekeeper. She keeps a watchful eye over the blackened iron gates. All are welcome to seek solace here. However, this ghostly presence ensures that those who enter are respectful and neither the living nor the dead, leave unless she allows them to do so.
This one of a kind, Victorian ghost art doll was created for the Victorian Revenants collaboration, hosted by The Doll Artists Collective on Instagram.
