Tiny Shiny Show

Part of a larger show named The Mini Shiny Show (Bling Revisited), the Tiny Shiny Show was co-curated by participants Aimee Sones and Linda Diec. Diec’s cast-iron dime bags, an obvious reference to drug use, and Sones’s glass images of maps and freeway are an interesting subversion of our typical associations with shiny objects, which tend to skim a surface of pleasantness. While maintaining their physical appeal of smallness and cuteness, the objects in the Tiny Shiny Show lead our minds to the slightly darker side of Bling-- drug deals and the underbelly of even the most familiar of landscapes.
