    ICOSA: Darkages

    Leon Alesi and John Mulvany aim to unearth, uncover, and breathe new life into images and artifacts that may have seemed invisible, hidden and unknowable. Alesi’s photographs, collages, assemblages and found objects embody a sophisticated folk-art sensibility suggestive of an imagined past that echoes into the present. Mulvany’s paintings originate in extensive photographic research from Victorian-era natural history museums and West Texas taxidermy shops.
