margaux lange: re-membering barbie fondly

maybe people would think me as morbidly weird (if not creepy) for liking these kind of art. at first i think it is weird either. creepy weird because the artist, margaux lange, uses body parts from mattel's overrated doll: BARBIE. but when i got to her page, i was really impressed. especially after reading her bio. now i think she is talented.

 

although, it is not wrong to somehow remember dexter's ice truck killer season. as a devoted fan of dexter the series, i think art could be weird, morbid, creepy and everything else in between.

 

again, if any of you are watching dexter, there is this episode (living the dream) in season four where he killed and cut the wrong person. that person was a photographer (benny gomez) who photographed his models with 'disturbing' poses. you know, blood, scar and such. and for me, lange's art portrays an even creepier sense. what could be more disturbing than mutilated dolls as an imagery of child innocence combined with violence.

 

well, for me it was disturbing at first. but then i think posting the pictures of the corpse your loved ones on facebook or twitter is far more upsetting. and yes, real people do that. tmi, people.

 

anyways. i only posted 8 pictures here. go on her site or etsy page for more. you can purchase these accessories too.
