FREYA HANSELL'S installation will be on view in gallery 207 from January 5 through the 19th. Hansell uses wood, plexiglas, mirrors and lights to explore a range of painterly and sculptural concerns. Hansell's placement of various elements in the room is determined by her anticipation of the viewer's movement among them. The work is conceived to be walked through allowing the viewer to encounter the complexity of abstract planar configurations.
