Kristin Jensen at Nichelle Beauchene Gallery

Kristin Jensen’s ‘Vase Faces,’ are inanimate objects that appear to come to life, but the effect is more humorous homeyness than horror.  Ghostly but not spooky, chubby-cheeked visages seem to emerge and disappear on these simple vessels to charming effect.  (At Nichelle Beauchene Gallery on the Lower East Side through June 9th).
