What a wonderful sense of humor. Too often, the air in the art world can get a little stuffy as artists try to secure elusive grant funding, gallery owners try to persuade clients that the artists that represent are doing something “important” and critics… well… try to justify their paychecks. Enter Flo Perkins. She spent years crafting exquisitely rendered floral pieces from blown glass. And then she had her eureka moment. Leaving that behind, she began creating sculptures of everyday objects, such as traffic cones and bowling pins. Make no mistake, these are beautifully executed. Yet, under her hand, such pieces as this one, “Conefrontation,” will also make you giggle. Can’t wait to see what’s on the 16th floor.
