Jillian Mayer is a versatile Miami artist making public artworks, film projects, and sculptural oddities with an inventive, serrated edge. Her latest experiment is an Object Shop, where creative tributes to jerks she’s met on the internet are awaiting your company, staring at you in shiny glass visage. We relate to Phill, described as, “Clever, can’t make a decision, and works all the time.” And then there’s Nacho, who is “Quitting smoking and is sucking candy all day. Now his teeth hurt.” Mayer calls them jerks but notes, “It is important in life to have friends, some are flat little weird glass ones.”
