Punching Dolls
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
I was traveling on a packed bus on a school trip to an antique shop. I was playing on a Nintendo Switch that had run out of battery and had to give it back to the people sitting in the seats behind me. A few people were sleeping in a small compartment on top of the bus, it was very thin. I'm now walking around the shop. I punched a standing doll in the face. The space was american basement like with narrow slit windows at the ceiling. Each section was marked off by curtains. I punched what I thought was another doll standing behind one of the curtains, but it turned out to be a small girl. I saw D’s mum in the following room dancing with one of her friends. I was trying to figure out how to pour a boiling cup of something on them without being caught. I did.

This paper has the exact same make-up as the original is painted on - 100% α-cellulose. Acid- and lignin-free. There is a visible structure to the paper which gives a textured look and feel close to the original.
It is certified ISO 9706. Which means it conforms to museum quality for the highest age resistance.
I scan the original (not photograph) so it is as accurate as can be. Including all the oily lumps and strokes of the originals. And then If it’s needed I colour-correct on a colour-accurate studio monitor with the original in front of me.
