Clinton, Trump, social issues get Peeps treatment in Lake Worth show

Protesters have massed at a downtown Lake Worth street corner, holding signs and demanding recognition for food-colored marshmallow minorities.
“Pink Peeps Matter” their signs read, while others insist on better treatment for their green and yellow brethren. One rainbow Peep stands defiantly out front, while outside the Peeps Police Station, a blue Peep wearing sunglasses and a star watches for possible Peeps perps.
Titled “All Peeps Matter,” the diorama from Lake Worth High School is among about 30 on display in the 7th annual Peeps Show at the Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery.
A few hours before the show’s opening last Friday, artist Wendy Klein sat on the floor in a corner gluing the traditional Easter basket residents to cardboard stairs attached to a vase filled with water and bamboo sprigs.
“I think it’s going to be some kind of meditation pool,” she said, still wondering where the Peeps muse would lead her.
One tip: Peeps left out to become stiff and crusty may not be edible, but they’re a far better medium for paint and costumes than soft, fresh Peeps.
In the hands of Delray Beach artist Debra Rosen, a dollhouse became a spring break Peeps bacchanal with arms and legs protruding from windows in a scene she called “Bienvenidos a Oy Vey Acres.”
Gentle mocking is a hallmark of the self-conscious silliness that is a Peeps diorama contest.
On one wall, a nightclub scene revealed formal Peeps in painted-on tuxedos and ball gowns placidly enjoying what appeared to be a Palm Beach gala.
The Peeps County Fair’s midway offered the World’s Strongest Peep and Elvira, the Bearded Peep, while over in the agricultural barn, a prized Peepcock and Pink Parapeep won top Peeps honors.
In one of her 10 tiny dioramas, gallery director and artist Joyce Brown created an homage called “Peep Seeger.” She’s got a political statement with protesting Peeps and pictures of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.
In another, she created “Masterpieces of Peeps,” where paintings including theMona Lisa, Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Picasso’s Guernica and Van Gogh’s Starry Night are Peep-bombed by yellow marshmallow chicks.
For those who feel the features sections of ss that came up with the idea of a Peeps diorama contest back in 2004.newspapers don’t contribute anything to national or local conversations about serious issues, we say “ha!” and offer Peeps diorama contests as refutation, or maybe proof.
After all, it was the features department of the St. Paul Pioneer Press
