Transforming Maria, Small For Discount

Gazing at Sarah Arnett s art is like stepping into a daydream. Every piece of flamboyant art she creates is infused with a sense of narrative, inspired by everything from film and poetry, to her years spent travelling the world. 

Transforming Maria is based on a character from pioneering 1927 sci-fi movie, Metropolis. In the film, there are two Maria s: one virtuous, the other a robot replica used by the bad guys.

Arnett explains: My piece combines both the good and bad versions of Maria. My interpretation is a combination of female beauty and strength for a modern time, where women don t want to be just one thing or another.  

From a limited edition of 50, extra gold leaf will be hand-applied by Arnett on any orders placed in the first two weeks.
