Oh yes! But I think my favorite is the piece on the artist’s home page.
Prominent highlights of the Fountain fair across the highway from Armory were Melissa Pokorny’s two wonderful/weird sculptures on the floor just inside the door. They were part of The Front Room‘s contribution.
Pokorny was part of the gallery’s January/February group show.
From her site:
Forget meaning. This work functions like some sort of homemade cultural probe. Think of a kid poking a stick into swamp water and removing it to see what lies beneath. Pokorny’s creative imagination seems to work that way.
People have a hard time imagining living with Pokorny’s sculpture, but in a sense we all do already.

Yeah I love those works quite a bit. Quirky and kind of disturbing.
I love the comment “People have a hard time imagining living with Pokorny’s sculpture, but in a sense we all do already.”
Very fitting and it could also be said about my work.
*shameless plug*
I will also be showing at the Front room gallery in October as part of the banner project. I’ll keep you posted as to the date of the opening. I hope you can make it.
