On most nice days in Sebastopol, a small, mellow city in California Wine Country, the Florence Avenue oglers are easy to spot. They move slowly, on foot or in cars, the better to study 26 large, chortle-inducing, recycled junk sculptures rising from assorted front yards.
A frazzled waitress races across an inverted mug, arms loaded with breakfast plates and a coffee pot. A leering turquoise caterpillar tokes on a hookah that started life as a Moroccan brass lamp. Elsewhere, a seductive mermaid lies sideways on a tail of multihued blue scales made from countless applesauce can lids.
This mad cavalcade of 3-D cartoonery stretches along the quiet, hilly residential street where lovely Victorians, bungalows and cottages incongruously meet recycled industrial and domestic detritus.
