Frillip Moolog, that's a strange name. What does it mean?
Frillip Moolog originates from an essay written by Kirsty several years ago. She had been inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and made an installation which investigated a world where objects, weren't fit for purpose and broke free from their normal rules of use. Lewis Carroll famously made up his own words; chortle , burble and his poem, Jabberwocky being good examples. So Frillip Moolog is a name that she made up which originally made reference to things not being as they seemed and possibilities of how they could be in an alternative world. Visually Frillip moolog alludes to mirrored words: a gentle reminder of Alice Through the Looking Glass .
The beings can be seen as meditative objects. They reawaken feelings, sensations and memories. They act as portals for us to return to a childhood space (“place”) in our minds. The name that Kirsty has given to this place is Frillip Moolog.
