‘How meaning is built’

“Blackened Wood’’ (detail), by Erica Wessmann, in her show “Someone’s Home,’’ at Kingston Gallery, Boston, April 2-26.

The gallery says the show “approaches space as an active, unstable field. Their installations weave together research, constructed forms, and coded material histories to create environments that suspend fixed perspective. Often immersive and physically commanding, the work invites viewers to reconsider how meaning is built, disrupted, and shared within social and spatial systems.’’

Memento mori, et al.
