Inspired by a multitude of sources from Dali to Disney, Inka Essenhigh continues to craft fantastical scenarios as intriguing as they are bizarre. Here, a curvy female figure (seemingly crafted from a single orange/green material from her hair to her off-kilter shoes) primps in front of a shattered mirror that reflects a monster-like apparition. Are we seeing reality? Will she continue to transform before our eyes? Essenhigh’s rich stories leave us wanting more. (On view at Miles McEnery Gallery on 22nd Street in Chelsea through Nov 14th).
