“ Leah Mackin’s video of a spinning umbrella top literally turns functionality on its side and twirls it around. As the object spins the center remains unfixed so that light moves freely across the faceted surface. At times the frame is casually disregarded revealing a glimpse of the world, if not the hand, behind this hypnotic curtain. Reminiscent of the formal rigor of her drawings and folded photographs, Mackin’s black umbrella is re-imagined as an endlessly revolving and shifting radiant poinis freed of its gloomy associations in favor of a capricious display.
