Experiences

Visionary art gallery curated by Liana Sananda of Sanada Gallery www.sanadagallery.com

Matt Elson’s “The Infinity Boxes” are an invitation to tantalize your perception of what’s real. To look inside these beautifully designed works of color, light and mirrors is to give yourself up, if only for a few moments, to a dreamlike world that changes as you move, as you smile or even gasp in complete wonder at your inability to explain what you’re seeing. www.mattelson.com
