A Work of Art







 A.F. Vandevorst installation for Arnhem Mode Biennale 2011
“A girl sleeping in a hospital bed in her A.F. Vandevorst dress. But here, the girl as well as the mattress and pillow are made out of candle wax. Once lit, what starts as a perfect image will slowly melt and perish during the biennale.”


I found this on tumblr and I was totally compelled to share this.  Such an eery sculpture that represents a patients slow deterioration... You can feel her just melting away....

  1. This. Is. Awesome! Yes Dr. Preston, I used the word "awesome" because this image did in fact create an overwhelming feeling of admiration.
