The artist Hugh Findletar creates bust-like vases out of glass — interpretations of both famous and non-famous faces — which he calls “flowerheadz.” He has made versions inspired by people such as the model Naomi Campbell, a doorwoman who works at his apartment building in Milan and Solomon, the biblical king. In September, @mr.flowerheadz will introduce new vases at Bergdorf Goodman in Midtown Manhattan, as part of a group art show hosted by the Spaceless Gallery in the department store’s home décor section. Some of the pieces that will be there are modeled after people connected to New York, including the jazz singer Billie Holiday; Patricia Field, the merchant turned “Sex and the City” costume designer; and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Findletar works out of glassblowing workshops on Murano, the Italian island near Venice known for its centuries-old glass industry. He typically works with five other artisans to create each flowerheadz vase. (Ears are applied last.) He is among a handful of Black glass artists who have penetrated the glassmaking industry in Venice, said Adrienne Childs, an art historian and an associate at the W.E.B. Du Bois Research Institute at Harvard. In an interview with The New York Times, Findletar said he sees making the flowerheadz vases as a way of trying to repopulate the planet with “my people of every color, even green.” Tap the link in our bio to see more of Findletar’s distinctive glass vases.
