Infinite and Infinitesimal: A Conversation with Randy Polumbo
Boundaries between nature, living space, and fine art dissolve in Randy Polumbo’s universe. His works glow with a startling mix of materials—airplane and trailer parts, silvered upholstery, glittery cast and blown glass, LEDs, mirrored and metal sheets, baked mycelium, and looping videos.
