Roman Kalinovski reviews Rachel Rickert: The Ins and Outs at E.TAY Gallery, New York, on view through October 7, 2017.

Kalinovski writes: “The strange pleasure that comes from visual frustration is a recurring theme in this exhibition. While Soft Boundaries and Verge present its two extremes with the curtain drawn and closed, respectively, and the body completely exposed or concealed, there are any number of intermediaries between those states: the smaller shirt paintings, for instance, with exposure and concealment superimposed on each other in a state of indeterminacy.”
