GHOST-LIKE INTRIGUE IN DESIGN
Patterned-based images created through layering convey the idea of histories, layers of lives making their marks on building structures — marks that fade over time. These works form part of j.m.rees’s solo exhibition, which includes a large central sculpture and one digital media work, on view at the Epsten Gallery through June 27.
