She says they are all carved. I sent her an email yesterday about this piece. Here is some of the email she sent me back. (I don't want to post the whole email)


Hi ****,

Thanks for writing me.

I don’t expect everyone to love everything that I do, this project started 3 years ago and it was something I wanted to do to see the possibilities of rendering my 2D work in 3D. At that time we decided to go with something that was simple because it was a world that I never explored. Sorry to hear you don’t like them; honestly if you saw them in the flesh maybe you’d changed your mind, maybe not. The mask are all carved and unfortunately it’s hard to show the essence of them on picture.

This was a world I wanted to explore and if I wasn’t satisfied about the project I wouldn’t put it out there.

I’m working on new projects in 3D and I’ve pushed things a lot further and can’t wait to continu to explore new materials. This was on’y the start.

Hope you’ll be curious enough to see what’s coming.

Again,

Thanks for writing

I never understood the artistic sense of her approach and despite all the respect I have for her, her work never gave me the slightest emotion. I do not understand how with a result also bad, it can still put on sale. I remember that I received my Mr Dob a year after the normal date because Murakami was not satisfied with the work done on this series and had done all over again. she should have been inspired by it.

You sent her an email telling her you didn't like it?

That's bizatre. You felt you had too?

Pretty sure it's not gonna be $99.
More like $999....

I always had ambivalent feelings about SC’s work, but this is very clear cut: this is just incredibly ugly and tasteless.

Totally agree with you, too many artists today take collectors as cash cows and don't give a f about anything else but their bank account balance.

She should have maybe gone and done a more realistic approach.

She applies real masks for models in reality. Maybe a solid color busk with some small coloring in eyes with a thick print, cut to fit around the busk as if it was one of her models would have been a better result. Could have been great with a little better artistic direction.

Depends the way you say it. I normally did like a lot of her work but this is just not working for her. Do you think i'm the first to tell her, don't think so. As i said i never wrote something like that to an artist before.

I have written to many artists about how good their work is. At least i take the time to do it.
Many just buy a piece and hope it goes up in value.

Yes its not or ever will be my business what she does, but there is no harm in giving an opinion about something.  

I completely agree. This piece is terrible. Doesn't mean people won't try though.

Yes i'm the same as you, i would just pass it by and not buy. I was not rude to her in any way.

The thing is when someone like Sandra brings out something like this after having sold out shows etc, it just makes a laugh of her fans. Yes she's trying something new and it will take a while to get right, but lets face it, these are utter crap.
More than likely it will sell out, but then whats next. I see a lot of posts about it being a quick cash and grab, so maybe if a few people told her how bad it is (not in so many words) then she might just think twice the next time.
Its hard to get to the top the first time but getting there the second time is even harder.

If i was a regular buyer of her art and i was waiting on this, i would really feel she was taking me for a mug. 

I think irl1 did a nice thing providing her feedback, albeit not positive - that’s more useful than sycophantic compliments.

No other reason than i hate to see people being taken for mugs, and anyone can see that with this piece. 
I'm not the only one on here and a lot of other places saying the same

I love art and have done all my life. I have supported artists since i was a very young man and have made friends with many. 

You can't judge me by this thread alone, and no there is noting else going on, apart from this very bad piece of art

I would appreciate if you would all shut up and stop telling her this is a massive mistake. I would prefer it if she was forced to throw these in a dumpster and set it alight and lose every cent she has ever earned.
