Dildo’s, Solar Panels, Butt Plugs – Oh My!

Posted in art, sexy ting tings, solar, tech/gadgets by thuy | Tags: , ,

Randy Polumbo‘s sculptural bouquets of cast glass dildos and butt plugs seduce the viewer visually, then surprise him/her once the content is clear. They bounce between beauty, absurdity and playfulness and at the same time address environmental issues, as many of these kinetic sculptures are solar powered.

Polumbo’s grotto, a 30 foot installation, has traveled across the US. It featured at the Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock desert of Nevada and at the Bakehouse Art Complex in Miami.

The stunning techno ‘flowers’ are created with illuminated sex toys. They bring to mind sea plants in a corral reef – underwater tubers or anemones. Viewers are drawn into a space where perception is altered in subtle ways. The proverbial doorway to the subconscious opens a little wider in Polumbo’s glowing garden.

There is also irony and humor at play – dildos that you might only think of in the context of a sex store, are no longer defined by their functionality. The eroticism becomes a celebration in a sense.
