SCULPTOR RESEARCH / THE ORIGINAL WORK

Cassie Ann Love: a history of the original sculpts.

From Hattie in 2012 to the sculptor's present-day portfolio: a carefully attributed reference to the work collectors also know under the name Cassie Brace. The original sculpt, manufactured blank kit and finished reborn artwork are distinct.

One sculptor, two names in the archive.

Cassie Ann Love has confirmed on her official biography ↗ that she was formerly known as Cassie Brace. Older retailer listings and photographic archives still use that surname. Reborna brings these sources together under her current artist name rather than treating the two names as different sculptors.

In a published MacPherson interview ↗, Cassie identifies Hattie (2012) as her first production doll kit and describes moving from reborning to sculpting her own designs. The first three names in her recorded production sequence are Hattie, Ella and Junior.

Her first 30 production designs.

The interview contains an artist-supplied list of the first 30 produced doll kits in production order. That order is not a release calendar: apart from Hattie, the source does not establish the exact year of each entry. Some names differ in spelling between the old interview and newer gallery labels, so questionable matches remain separate until independently resolved.

Release-year evidence, not guessed dates.

Only a small number of designs currently have an individually attributed year reference in our research. A model-year observation, release claim and pre-order opening are different kinds of evidence and should not be conflated.

What the photographic archive establishes.

Cassie's published vinyl-kit gallery ↗ displays named original works alongside images and selected details. Reborna's research currently records 61 accepted historical sculpt names, including 48 exact named gallery-photo observations. These counts describe catalogue research, not manufactured inventory, official edition numbers or photographs licensed for reuse.

The sculptor also publishes original clay sculptures ↗, a useful way to distinguish the sculpted design from later painted and rooted interpretations. Where a photograph comes from a retailer or other publisher, the original page is attributed; a finished-doll photo is not automatically an image of the blank kit included in a sale.

Names still awaiting clarification.

The historical index includes Romilly and Sienna. The current artist gallery also uses the forms “Romily” and “Sienna Rae”. These are plausible related names, but Reborna deliberately does not silently join their image identities or create fabricated image matches. We will update the records only after source verification.

Other titles in the wider archive may be documented without a currently available blank kit. A historic entry does not imply stock, current manufacture, a new release or an artist endorsement of Reborna.
