Much Loved, A Photo Book of Stuffed Animals That Have Been ‘Loved to Bits’ by Mark Nixon
Much Loved is a photo book of well-loved stuffed animals that are falling apart by photographer Mark Nixon. The book is an extension of the popular photo series circulated on the internet last year.
Award-winning photographer Mark Nixon has created a trove of quirky and nostalgic portraits of teddy bears and other stuffed animals that have been lovingly abused after years of play. MuchLoved collects 60 of these images along with their accompanying background tales. An exhibit in the photographer’s studio led to a small sensation on the Internet when a few of the pictures circulated unofficially on scores of blogs and on many legitimate news sites. Viewers have been intrigued by the funny, bittersweet images and their ironic juxtaposition of childhood innocence and aged, loving wear and tear. When you see these teddy bears and bunnies with missing noses and undone stuffing, you can’t help but think back to childhood and its earliest companions who asked for nothing and gave a lot back.
