Press Release

Akers approaches his work with a whimsical eye and sense of humor. He plays with our idea of the expected with a sometimes curved and twisted stem, embellished with delicate leaves or a sprightly placed flower. Vases may be outfitted with wings as if ready for flight or perhaps bejeweled murrini dancing across a vivid background. The artist's work has a certain countenance and appeal expressed with color, graceful detail and adornment. Each has a lusty visual prose, while maintaining functional purpose.
