Ever Gold Gallery presents a solo exhibition of new work by New York based artist Carolyn Salas. Salas's recent work utilizes materials and finishes in visually deceptive ways; snaking tubes with the look of solid lead are actually a lightweight casting material, and large apparently Styrofoam forms are heavy, resin casts of the referent material. The emulation of materials suggests fragility, yet never truly deceives as trompe-l'œil. Instead, she invites the viewer to understand failure alongside her—to observe the flaws in creating a false veneer.
