“Sleuth is a show of three paintings inspired by three individual items: a Parcheesi-like board game, a ghostly maze and a history book with an op-art cover. While previous works on panel approximated the scale of their source material, the paintings in Sleuth render printed material larger than life. A fourth painting, installed on Friends Indeed’s gallery floor, recommends a path through the show, encouraging a slightly roundabout approach to work rooted in time spent pleasurably and inefficiently.” (Press release)
