Wandering into English Kills off of a snow-dusted Forrest Street is a moment demanding to be experienced right now. Having grown accustomed to bright lights, white walls and winter doldrums I was initially taken aback by the somber back room of the gallery. Through the doorway, one can see only a fraction of three fantastic floating sculptures created by artist and costume designer Tescia Seufferlein.

Pass into that room and the sculptures double in size from what you originally perceived. On initial inspection it seems that three wedding dresses have been ripped, stained, and coated in resin for the effect of a mind-boggling transformation. A second pass reveals the intensity of these actions and the care given to the subjects of the transformation. Being that the exhibition promotes repeated examinations, different items and moments of exaltation will poke and prod at your consciousness.
