This event has ended.

The Elizabeth Harris Gallery presents complex, an exhibition of wall constructions by Susan Leopold.

In a recent statement about her work Susan Leopold writes:" The buildings depicted in my work are abandoned structures, though still magnificent in their decrepitude. This body of work strives to capture the poetry of decay found in once proud buildings slowly being reclaimed by time and acknowledges how nostalgia is innately embedded in these structures. Photographs are key components in the work. The locations I shoot range from empty swimming pools in Havana, Cube to a condemned amphitheater along the East River in NYC.

This selection of sculpture and digital prints incorporate photographs, transparencies, aluminum and mirrors. Reflections and light are inherent qualities in these pieces. The illusion of space is achieved by imbedding photographs into sculptural forms lined with mirrors. When seen from a single position the pieces appear static, but the viewer's movement makes the sculpture come alive. The shift that occurs between reflections of photographs and the actual surrounding environment is a comment on the thin boundary that exists between the conscious and subconscious realms of the human psyche."
