Whitney Ranson reviews an exhibition of paintings by Laurel Sucsy entitled Chasing the Rabbit at Clough-Hanson Gallery, Rhodes College, Memphis, Tennessee, on view through March 30, 2012.

Ranson writes: "At the forefront of the numerous juxtapositions that Sucsy creates in her paintings is the contrast between the recognizable and the abstracted. Sucsy's work becomes reminiscent of looking through a kaleidoscope at a familiar landscape that has been abstracted by the mirrors and glass within. This abstraction allows the paintings to allude to a place, story or experience that is inevitably reinterpreted from one viewer to the next, making the work an intimate and personal experience for both the viewer and the artist."
