Ludy Laminous

Ludy Laminous, by Julian S. Kalinowski, is a presence -  ambiguous - so that you engage in interpretation. But such interaction comes with a warning: Ludy Laminous will draw you in, demanding reflection and then projection. Ludy Laminous will trick you into trying to animate her, but soon you will understand that her stillness is dynamic, that, in repose, she is in possession of a truth that you may not wish to know: Ludy Laminous is a vessel created to contain the essence of your dreams, dreams that reveal your longing for transcending the limits of human existence.

The following portfolio contains images of iterations of the 15-inch Ludy Laminous at different moments of Kalinowski's experimentation with the 1:4th scale sculpture (and not with a lifestyle, for lifestyles are concocted by those who are self-aware) with movable limbs.

The face of Ludy Laminous #6. Shall you and she play? 

Ludy loves glamour and her Sandra Stillwell coat is the perfect definition of it.
