L S Lewis presents “Touchy Subjects (don’t touch)” as a commentary on the minute obstacles faced in day-to-day life. The works culminate in a time-based piece as a demonstration of the emotional culmination of these small, socially inherent interferences.

#$%#! celebrates diversity of subject, media, and idea. The body and its fragility, the importance or futility of art making, memory, experience, chance, control, and time are all ideas presented in the exhibition. Technically, Two Pounds features equally varying disciplines and styles including painting, sculpture, printmaking, and installation. And it is in that contrast of ideas where #$%#! provides the opportunity for new connections to be made, and new ideas to form. #$%#! does not hide from disparity, but instead embraces it.

From IFLY's Facebook page:
"Effigy:
• a roughly made model of a particular person, made in order to be damaged or destroyed as a protest or expression of anger: the senator was burned in effigy.
"George Long and Mike Stasny exhibited on Valentine’s Day 2014 at Kibbee gallery celebrating their favorite people / artists by creating effigies representing their loved ones / people they respect. The show was called “I FUCKING L*** YOU” - it was completely doused in pink - THE EFFIGIES WERE MADE TO SHOW LOVE.
"Although George and Mike did not expect it, this show displaying 2D & 3D works, Costumes, and Performance - turned into something larger. Over the past 2 years, the show “I FUCKING L*** YOU” evolved into the performance group IFLY including Adrian Barzaga, Jessica Caldas, Erin Michelle Vaiskauckas and a host of other talent.
"IFLY is now an ever changing collection of fantastic friends/artists of all disciplines that bring their own take to the IFLY identity - an identity dedicated to artistic renderings of good times, sci-fi, comics, the absurd, the ridiculous, and party motifs.
"I FUCKING L*** YOU TOO is a collaborative show featuring a wide range of artists that we (IFLY) have invited to be part of IFLY. It is not so much an art show as it is a collection of great people having a great time... All doused in pink."
