Off with her head! Vanité, The Maiden is a life-size Waxwork Mix Media sculpture. If you would like to get into the head of Sigrid Sarda, it may not be as easy as you would think. Her website states that she “constructs life-size human ﬁgures made of wax incorporating human remains in the tradition of the doll as a magical object. The ﬁgures become talismans, reliquaries housing human bones.” What do you say to that?

Bafefit is located in Rome Italy. The works are reminiscent of traditional tattoo art in some ways. The images below speak to me for Valentine’s Day, with the twin images I view as shared souls.

Thomas Kuntz has been touted on this blog before. The automatons this Haxanthrobaticist creates go beyond artistry and technology. This one is very fitting for Valentine’s Day.

Artist Kevin Champeny is, in his own words “a New York based artist creating mosaic works blurring the line between photo, painting, and sculpture by creating a conversation between the hand sculpted and cast pixels and the image they come together to form.” The works below are comprised of thousands of coloured cast pieces which are used to make the larger image.

“Killing Field” is composed of resin cast animals in a still life of shotgun shells.

“Killing Field” detail:

“What Remains” is made up of cast hand sculpted flowers:

Self Portrait, made of cast resin fish:

“GummiLove” is composed of 55 lbs of cast resin Gummi Bears:
