The whimsical work of noted sculptor Ricky Bernstein is on exhibit at the Sandwich Glass Museum through November 1. Destined for the Stars presents Ricky’s larger than life sculptures which combine painted glass, aluminum, oil crayon, colored pencil, and mixed-media objects. His work, which often depicts his humorous impressions of the mundane, was greatly influenced by his childhood. Other major influences on his artistic sensibility include the films of Woody Allen and comic strips of Gary Larson, as well as the late Mad Magazine. Another inspiration are the television shows of the 1960s including Leave it to Beaver, I Love Lucy, Queen for a Day and The Ed Sullivan Show. In his narrative Ricky highlights the daydreams of Lois and her wish to perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. It features a giant-size Lois expertly juggling tea cups and bowling balls. This piece is made to withstand the elements and is prominently featured outside the Museum for all to see and enjoy along with a number of other works. For more information, click the link below.
