Playing with issues of what's plastic and what's real. Another interpretation of my 'mechanical bride' imagery...

(sorry I don't write more, I'm just getting tired of explaining myself, ha ;P)

16x20", oil and acrylic on board

What strikes my first is the headpiece and the shirt. The colors draw your attention and then you realise the designs match. Both the headpiece being origami and the shirt's design being stained glass add to your idea of fake and real. Both things imitate reality and try to portray it. Also, the eyes and hair are both unusual colors as though the firgure has dyed their hair and is wearing contacts. Which also give a feeling it's trying to imitate something. And the scratches in the flesh don't look like wounds, they more resemble gorges in, as you say, plastic. These aspects, along with the symbols and letters which seem to represent an inability to porperly express one's self, create a feeling of something fake, a mimic. And yet the tears make it all... real and give the figure life.

I do hope I haven't annoyed you or gone off on a tegneant. I love this Sarah and it's fabulously done :heart:

Ugh, this is so beautiful I can hardly stand it. Her flowing blue hair really makes it. And the origami cranes as paper cut culprits... so brilliant. I hope you release prints of this someday. :+fav:

Nah, I love it when people give their interpretations! Pick up on certain things myself from them, though most of what you mentioned caught my attention while making her as well :).
I don't usually plan everything when I got to paint, so a lot of the ideas happen in the process ~

Thanks!
:iconteapartygirl:
We'll see, we'll see ;D
I love this painting as well (at least at the moment, haha). I want to make a bunch more images before I choose anything else to make prints of ~
