Andy Paiko’s otherworldly glass objects are like curios one might encounter at Hogwarts, or in Tim Burton’s house. Ornate bell jars enshrine gold-plated chunks of coyote spine or other odd fetishes, transformed as if by alchemy. An absinthe fountain, etched with skull and crossbones, conjures a ritual partaking of wicked spirits.
A “lube rack” showcases a sly assortment of quirky wee containers filled with “everything for the friction-free existence,” from motor oil to Vaseline to bourbon. These are elegant implements for strange doings.
