Collectible Art That Blends Nostalgia and the Macabre
Mandy Caruso is an East Coast-born and raised multi-disciplinary artist who loves creating meticulously detailed, highly stylized work mainly exploring themes of pop culture, nostalgia, and the grotesque. A graduate of LaGuardia High School of the Arts and Parsons Design School, she largely credits her signature art style to childhood obsessions with Tim Burton, fashion dolls, and medical oddities. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two perfect rescue pups, Zero and Doralee.
“Sadie” Marionette-Style Art Doll
Sadie, the sullen 1999 goth girl who went viral on IG and TikTok, is ready to be collected!
She is an 11" tall, fully handcrafted, one-of-a-kind art doll in the unique marionette style. She's sculpted from polymer clay with a liquid plastic original mold body, painted with acrylics and non-toxic varnish, and has black and purple synthetic hair styled into two pigtails. She has long eyelashes, wears dramatic purple eye makeup, and has glistening black and purple ombre lips.
She wears a fishnet long-sleeved top and bondage-style pleated skirt, fishnet tights, platform Mary Jane shoes, and has multiple facial and ear piercings. Her clothing is not meant to be removed, but she does come with a hand-painted Slipknot hoodie in her vintage Hot Topic bag!
She is articulated with wire hooks and pins at her neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, thighs, knees, and ankles. She has an invisible string atop her head for manipulating and hanging for display, and she also comes with an adjustable doll stand if you prefer to display her the more traditional way.
Height: 11”
