Circular images rendered in graphite on yupo by Gale Antokal melt and drip across the page, evoking every foggy morning of a cold San Francisco summer. Glimpses of houses on hillsides, embraced by clouds on all sides and shifting in and out of focus, demand attention. The longer one stares, the more the images flow in and out of awareness, like a phantom just beyond reach. Created more by erasure than mark-making, the works describe a dream barely remembered or an image developing in darkroom chemicals.
