Rochester artist Nick Brandreth returns to Makers Gallery and Studio this week with "N.M. Brandreth's Phantasmagoria Presents: Seeing Shadows," featuring new work that plays off the spooky ideas he worked with in last year's "Unadulterated Overkill" group exhibit. Brandreth creates hand-constructed viewing boxes for his glass plate photographs that depict dreamt-up scenes of that appear pulled from old-timey horror films. The show will also feature props and masks that he used for the photo shoots and a looped short film, and a book.
