As the exhibition title suggests, artist Leah Guadagnoli has a playful sense of humor when it comes to her practice. Her eclectic influences range from Gothic stained glass and Bauhaus, Art Deco and The Memphis Group to the gaudy patterns which bring to mind the carpets, seating and walls found in the airports and waiting rooms of decades past (the 50s through 90s).
