Lauren Simonutti explores her own mental illness in this deeply personal yet surrealist exhibit of small photographs. Obsessively examining and analyzing, these haunting images give us a glimpse into Ms. Simonutti's psychosis without losing our attention. Dark, lightly hand-painted images go where the surrealists wanted to but couldn't, can't, and probably shouldn't. They show that our dreams and the deepest, darkest areas of our mind are not as profane as they would have us believe, but may be just as confusing or puzzling. At Catherine Edelman Gallery, through March 6, 2010.
