Parts of Some Whole presents five paintings by Jackson Hunt, installed as a triptych and a displaced diptych across the gallery’s spaces, and backed by sections of textured vinyl wallpaper. Working with an inherited large-format printer whose miscalibrations produce color distortions and banding, Hunt layers family photographs and appropriated mass cultural images into surfaces that vibrate between flatness and depth. The most striking and strikingly photographic image in the show is a picture of his grandmother, catching herself in the two-way mirror of a photo booth. Her mischievous gaze is a clue to the core of Hunt’s works—the uncertainty of memory and the idiosyncratic ways we do and do not see ourselves.
