Karla Black transforms the gallery into a Rococo interior, with Baroque silhouettes painted directly on large mirrors whose scale and contours recall palatial splendor. Monumental yet delicate sculptures stand among the mirrors in Black's characteristic pale palette of plaster, chalk, paint, makeup, and bath bombs. By obstructing the mirror's reflective function, Black redirects attention away from the viewer's own image and toward material presence — situating the body within a sensory experience that transitions between the decorative and the spontaneous, the immaterial and the material.
