"Size Matters" at Packer Schopf Gallery: http://www.packergallery.com/

Includes my friends:

Victoria Fuller (website) - Safety Star — a starburst made from fluorescent orange street cones that appears simple until you peer into the steel structure

Renee McGinnis (website) - a heroic portrait of the Merchandise Mart flanked by Cupids, all underneath a gigantic thunderhead

Catherine Jacobi (website) - 'Mary' — a skull almost large enough for a person to hide inside and view out through the eye sockets
