“Bubble Gum Gumbo” sculpture with upside-down pink bustier, glowing dome top, black fringe, and flower-petal base, blending theatrical femininity with playful absurdity, by Sanford Kogan

Bubble Gum Gumbo
(dressed up as a ritual)

An upside-down pink bustier, held aloft by garter clips, becomes the central form in this luminous confection of absurdity and allure. Perched on a flower-petal base and crowned with a softly glowing dome, the sculpture channels equal parts striptease and shrine. Everything is inverted—turned, teased, tickled and twisted. The soft pinks, rounded forms, and ornamental edges evoke a stylized cartoon femininity stretched toward both the theatrical and the sacred. The result is part altar, part joke, a relic of invention—stitched together with the logic of a burlesque séance.

Like its title, Bubble Gum Gumbo, the sculpture mixes sweetness and spectacle with a wink. Nothing fits, yet it belongs together—hilariously, precariously, almost reverently—like a penitent prayer in pink tulle.
