Elise Nicol “You’re Always Brilliant in the Morning”

Do images piled atop one another deny or define what's underneath? Do collaged layers invite you to look at them as a whole? Or do you look through and around a pieced-together image instead of just at it? What happens when two images bump up against one another? Or words bump up against an image? Is it unexpected? Unsettling? Strange? Revealing? Funny? 

This exhibition plays with these questions, bringing together 35 works from four series created since 2012:

• photographs made for a collaborative book project with the artist's brother,
• the poet Alfred Nicol
• abstract,postcard-size, one-a-day pigment prints
• larger, more experimental pigment prints
• and new drawings, collages, and photomontages.
