Gretta Johnson at Feuer/Mesler

Shaped artworks on paper by young Brooklyn artist Gretta Johnson are abstract but bring specific objects to mind, as the show’s title ‘Jackets/Machines/Hair,’ affirms. Here, what looks like a heraldic symbol featuring modified fly whisks and a door hinge invites speculation. (At Feuer/Mesler on the Lower East Side through July 29th).
