Diffraction, 2018
“Britt Salt reveals that skin itself is a threshold, as are the walls of a building. Through an intuitive display of mirror disks, a pattern emerges upon the surface of the gallery. The spatial diffraction throbs and ebbs in an illusionary field, opening up a window to a space beyond. The corner becomes an architectural spell to other dimensions, passing the edge of an opaque body into waves of modulated, redistributed energy. An ocular apparition of space flickers through a front of light and dark bands – the diffracted pattern – alluding that there is more than meets the eye beyond the surface of things, yonder a shadow.”
