Toys are teaching tools, little cultural manipulators directing us to this role, that paradigm. Toys reflect the culture we live in. Even Barbie has evolved from a Ken-dependent swimsuit model with a demure sideways glance into a career girl with a direct, in-your-face gaze. Toys are for play, for flights of imagination, psychological projection and preparation for adult life. As artistic subject matter, toys act as surrogates, allowing experimentation with the inexpressible and forbidden.

 Holly Ives: Modified Bouquet

Holly Ives' new series of flower portraits explore the new and more traditional forms of flower hybridization. With a focus on GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) or GEO (Genetically Engineered Organisms), the artist asks us to pick a bouquet of what we would like on the table. What lengths will we go to for the "perfect" flower? How far will we/ can we stretch the boundaries of nature with technology?
