Isaac Layman

One of the warmest rooms in Seattle is the central gallery displaying eight huge photos of Otter Pops (a tubular subspecies of Popsicles), part of Isaac Layman’s show 110%. The larger front gallery at Lawrimore features cooler colors of ordinary domestic objects—china cabinets, crystal doorknob, broken drinking glasses, clothes dryer door—similarly enlarged beyond household scale. Their shapes and uses are so familiar that we ignore them at home. Here, super-sized, they become strange and pull our eye in. (Nowhere more so than the fire-blackened maw of an old oven.) But the Otter Pop gallery is the most pleasing part of the show: It’s like walking into a tanning parlor, surrounded by 56 multicolored lamps, all of them five feet tall. Stand in the middle, and you see how the freezer pops are actually in their melted state. They’re defrosted, yet blast us with sugary light: ultraviolet, ultrared, ultrablue, ultraorange. Several of the Otter Pops have already been sold, meaning this is your last opportunity to experience them as a set. Please don’t lick the photos. BRIAN MILLER
