Stacked plywood vases by Michael Flynn

Spring finally feels possible. New York City has been under the gray, cold, snowy skies for months...but the last few days have the trees budding and green sprouts peeking up through the window boxes. I can only imagine how Provincetown must be about to explode with plant life right now. Late March is a great time in Ptown....all the gardens are getting attention, businesses are unlocking doors and the smell of fresh paint catches you as you walk down Commercial Street.

I'll be heading back to the Cape on April 9th to get the gallery opened and ready for the great new Modern Craft items I've been discovering all winter. It will be such a new and creative space.

The latest work I've uncovered and am planning on having in the gallery are some beautiful vases. Each one is different and has a undulating, organic wave look. Check it out:

The artist is Michael Flynn and here's what he says about his work:

"I use 3D modeling software to develop a completely unique form for each vase. I use a set of pre-established design parameters that allow for these completely unique shapes to be created. These parameters also afford the ability for the vase to still remain functional while retaining these custom shapes as well as a high level of manufacturing efficiency.

So, in short: Each vase is completely unique and will never be duplicated. The dimensions of the vase are 18"H x approximately 5" Dia.

The vase is stacked plywood in a natural finish with a wax sealer. The vase has an elastomeric sealer inside so it is safe to use with water."
