wow!

Ah… how Barbie sees the world!! hahaha – it’s fantastic!! And beautifully composed! I gather that if you pick her up and jiggle her, the eyes still move???

WOW !!

Yet another marvelous work, truly! Wow, aRae! I like mmargot and Jan’s comments above. Additionally, the eyes immediately reminded me of how/why women are portrayed & valued, or rather which of their body parts that are oogled over and emphasized… not their minds.

(And of course, I don’t mean to imply that the body shouldn’t be admired. You’re not a female frankenstein.)

why not.

I have come to discover that for art to be…... there really is no need to explain why…..........

This is Perfect !

i admire good sculptors such as yourself. well done your pieces are beatifully mastered.
^-

Brilliant piece of work, does the eyes move?

Peace aRae, I love what you are doing with the mannequin shapes. I too work with these shapes and have had wonderful results. The only problem I have is that they sell too fast! Excellent work! peace…

Brilliant in every way . respect.

Thank you , I wish you could , my work is full of details best viewed in the original size ,would love to see your work with strong light around them , must be amazing to walk around the sculptures.

this is very beautiful. the form and the materials you used. I think they must be awesome in real life.

wow, the eyes are truly amazing because at first it looks entirely decorative and then you realise what they really are and it’s just striking

oh I so agree and I find myself saying it a lot too when talking with others. And there’s also nothing wrong with wanting to be a better person as well. I exercise and keep healthy and have lost almost 25 kilos but I did it because I wanted to feel as beautiful outside as I do on the inside, not because of any other reason. Hugs

excellent

Great concept….......well done!

Looks perfectly normal to me ! ;)

Wow i like this and want a holiday to vist and get u to teach me how i like her shape and the acents of the eyes just fabulous aRea health and abundance to you

Love your concept and result! This work says all you intended it to

Oh man this one is so great, i love all of them but this is my new fav. The googley eyes are perfect.

You too!

lol….that damned barbie…..she was always letting us all know how our bodies were not as good as heres! lol….

I have attempted torso’s in a couple of mediums but yours are amazing. You are a talented artist and your gallery is impressive.

Beautiful and confronting :D
Amazing work Amanda :)

Haha it took me a moment or so to realize the eyes were eyes. very clever. a neat reversal.

Confronting? yes… vulgar? no. Direct/oblique and to the point, yes! Discomfortingly so… maybe!

What’s neat is that when you look at those parts of the body with the eyes you see them ‘looking’ back at you… what I meant by a neat reversal. And so the point made is undeniable… viewer saw the eyes because viewer looked there!
I do greatly admire the human form (particularly female form!) and delight in that, but can also appreciate the way this piece reflects the discomfort felt by anyone being made an ‘object’ of scrutiny without deeper engagement with who they are.

You done good!
