Paintings:

"Obituary; Flesh Colored"

A young woman stands against a black background. Although it can only be seen up close, the black is in several shades revealing that the darkness has mouths and claws. The woman is dressed in armor and could be mistaken for Joan of Arc if it weren't for her deep red hair and green eyes. The girl, for those of you who know her, looks almost exactly like Rachel Stewart. A single ray of light falls upon this woman's head as she kneels holding a sword.

"Self Portrait"

This is a painting with 100 two inch squares arranged ten by ten. Each square has a portrait of a mortal. At the center of the piece is a portrait of Sandra. Although no one is likely to know this (other than perhaps people she has told about it), these are all the people she has fed off of for the past year or so. Ami, Walcott, and Mercedes "Misty" Devereaux are all pictured there as well.

"Mary Crucified"

The Virgin Mary is hung on the cross while Jesus weeps at her feet.

"Rationalization"

This one is a medical diagram cutaway of the female reproductive system. Although it is an original composition of Sandra's, it could easily be mistake as an illustration for a medical book.

"The Perfect Doll"

This is a picture of a young girl (Sandra perhaps?) holding a small rag doll made of glowing white fabric. The eyes seem to be made of blue glass.

"Symmetry"

Two eyes balls float in midair seem to be mirroring each other. Each one seems to be dripping blood in a symmetrical manner as to appear as if they are mirroring each other.

"Paradisio"

This painting is of the boudoir of a 18th century French noblewoman. Although it can only be seen through the slightly transparent drapes on the four poster bed, the forms of two women touching each other can be barely made out.

"Bodhisattva"

A man with stigmata and a third eye lays on the ground in what seems like the African savanna. The man is clearly of African descent, as his skin is dark and his hair forms neat dreadlocks. Although no wound is apparent, blood forms a radius around him on the ground.

"Our Dreams..."

Black, blue, and yellow streaks on a dark red background. The blacks are muted and soft, the blues are more pronounced but are blunt, and the yellows are sharp, like lightning.
To know the true meaning of this painting, roll Wits + Malk Time, difficulty 9. If you get two successes, you'll know its a picture of the Malkavian Madness Network.
For non-Malks, roll Wits + the number of Derangements you have, difficulty 10. You need four successes to see that it's a painting of the shared dreams of insane undead.

Sculptures:

"Untitled 2"

The form of a woman's head and upper body appear out of the four foot tall base. An arm also reaches out. Her face seems to be in pain. The overall effect is that either she is sinking into the base itself, or worse, melting into it.

"Untitled 3"

A man has been crudely fashioned by gluing bits of broken ceramics together. The piece is large enough to be life sized, although the person's limbs and body are very thin. The face of the person is a ceramic mask done in the crackled Japanese "raku" style.

"Touch me"

This ironic work is a tennis ball with nails and razor blades covering it. Wear someone to actually touch it, they would most likely injure themselves fairly badly.

Photographs:

"Paris; October 2, 1979"

This is actually three photoes set against one another.
The first is Sandra (with brown hair and Appearance 4) reading from a notebook on a dirty stage. A dead cow hangs from a hook suspended from the ceiling.
The second is Sandra totally topless, putting a chainsaw into the cow. Her look is one of savagery, showing a rage no one has ever seen in Sandra before. Blood is splashing everywhere. From the looks of it, she will soon be covered in the stuff.
The third is bizarre. It shows Sandra on a stretcher with an oxygen mask. She is being led away through a large crowd of people. Her eyes are closed, but she still has no shirt, and her skin seems sticky with blood.

"Sandra as Lucky in Samuel Beckett's 1978 production of 'Waiting for Godot'"

Sandra has short brown hair in this one, giving her a strange boyishness. She is on a leash lead by an old man in a dirty suit. Only the most perceptive or obsessed individuals will notice it, but a beautiful and very skinny woman can be seen from a mirror in the background.

"Tokyo 1980"

Sandra is suspended from the ceiling by a length of chain tied around her waist. She is painting the floor of the gallery for an installation there.

"Composition by Bunny Done in Acrylics and Girl"

Sandra lays on the gallery floor completely naked... save a coat of black, red, orange, and green paint applied by Bunny. The picture is from above, and she stretches her long limbs across the floor, smearing paint on it. Her expression is that of the Mona Lisa... mysterious approval.

"The Other Side"

This work is a collage, using photographs of Rosewood Cemetery at night, obituary newspaper clippings, and gravestone rubbings. There is a caption at the bottom: "We all must End. All of Us."

The Pleasures of Revolution Gallery is proud to be hosting a charitable exhibit, benefiting the Sanatorium. It is called "Faces of Folly: Visions of Mental Illness". This controversial exhibit is exclusively composed of works done by patients at the Sanatorium. All works are on sale, and most of the proceeds go to the troubled Sanatorium, either for additional funding, or given its recent controversy, its legal fund. Among works on display:

"What Happened to Mother"
"My Eye Fell Out"
"Them"
"Blood Everywhere"
"'Nam"
"I Am Jesus"
"I Can't Remember"
"Minimum Sentencing"
"Me and a Gun"
"The Fire"
And the particularly controversial piece, "What the Orderlies do to Me"
