Le Pressepapier Executiv is a satirical melodrama that heightens the dilemma facing artists: life’s impermanence and the romantic notion of transcendence through the making of objects. The parody highlights the narcissism and exhibitionism on display within the hot shop and sacrifices plenty of flowers in the process. -Beth Lipman Instagram: @epicglassworksforever
