Melissa Meier is an elegant woman with an incredible art practice. She intricately uses various mediums to recreate photographs onto heavy paper and then very carefully cuts out lace patterns from them. When seen from afar, the cutouts give the illusion that the people in her pieces are covered in Maori tattoos. And the illusion continues to work even when you get up close because of a special material Meier uses that doesn’t reflect light. Joella March curated the show in a rather beautiful way by taking off the glass on some of the pieces so that the viewer could get right up close to the work. However the really beauty was how you could look at one of Meier’s pieces featuring a vintage photograph right next to a different piece featuring a photograph taken only recently without being taken out of the romance of the room.
