Colter Jacobsen created the charmingly off double drawings of snapshots, side by side, in the 2010 SECA exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

His first solo exhibition, at Gallery Paule Anglim, is a series of finely crafted collages of textured, found materials in the shape of men’s button down shirts. Viewing them is like standing in a big closet alone, not really looking at the clothes around you, letting your thoughts unfold.
