Home on the Strange
This last weekend marked the close of my show “Second Hand Made” at the Gallery of Functional Art in Santa Monica CA. I was fortunate enough to sell several pieces to the lovely Jennifer Emil. Since I was in town retrieving the remaining work, I delivered her pieces and installed them. I was so struck with total oddness of her apparently unassuming home, I just had to post some of the experience here.

Once inside, the place proves to be a veritable museum of that fringy area of contemporary art that folks like myself feel right at home in. Note my three aquatic themed thingies freshly hung on the wall.
The view from the street promises very little......
Seedy decorative plates are best viewed over a horses ass.
Some of Jennifer’s own sleaze and snack inspired art.
A knit mouse autopsy in progress.
The cats room.
Hall of horrors.
Squirrels gone wild.
More dirty art.
A room I can only describe as “Lodgy” and a fine portrait aquired on Ebay.
A carved table redefining “woody” and a painting inspiring same.
