Soft Surrealism by Mandy Palasik is an abstract sculpture composed of biomorphic inflatables magnetically connected to form amoeba-like creations. The light-weight PVC pieces are arranged to expand and contract in the gas station, activating the corners, and framing views on all four sides. At night, colorful beams of light activate the shapes to create an alluring form that changes with each perspective.

Mandy Palasik Studio is a design practice based in Los Angeles that lies at the confluence of art, architecture, and community. As a site-responsive artist, Palasik’s work transcends the confines of any single medium or style, resulting in a portfolio as varied and unique as the communities in which she serves. This evolving and experimental nature lies at the heart of her practice. She seeks to create interactive and playful experiences that ignite curiosity, excitement, wonder, and imagination.

The Adams Hill Neighborhood Association will be hosting an artist reception at the Adams Square Mini Park Gas Station on Sunday, March 23, at 2 p.m.
