Flowerheadz by Hugh Findletar are glass vases, fruits of a fertile and eccentric imagination. Glass vases, but in the shape of a head, whose influences can be mapped and traced throughout.
Each Flowerhead has a name (Tess, Chris, Tyron, Agnes, Hugh, etc.). When a house acquires one of them, it adopts the Flowerhead and considers it a guest of the house. Findletar creates custom pieces made to order, like portraits designed to reveal the baroque and festive nature of their subjects. Findletar brings these portraits back to life as they were done in the past.
When the vases are empty, these expressive faces created by Findletar reveal themselves to us, as powerful as primitive fetishes, reminiscent of artifacts from the Etruscan, Roman or Greek period. Add flowers, and they seem to come alive as if by magic, topped with richly colored petals.
