"A word to the wise: If you're planning to see Elliott Hundley's new show at Los Angeles's Regen Projects, be prepared to spend a bit more time than a typical gallery breeze-through. In characteristic fashion, the artist beckons viewers on a voyage through the looking glass of his imagination\u2014a madcap world where ancient gods cavort with suburban hausfraus and reality and fantasy trade places like mischievous twins. The meaning of the work is almost defiantly obscure, but Hundley offers manifold rewards for those who endeavor to discern it.\n\nPinterestFacebook*Scaffold,* 2014.

Hundley's collages at Regen are densely imbricated with pigment, colored thread, straight pins, and magazine clippings, and viewing the works is by turns hypnotic and confounding. In addition to a series of large wall-hung canvases, Hundley has fabricated a suite of bronze sculptures, including three that take the shape of ladders with swaths of metal mesh that appear to float overhead.\n\nPinterestFacebook*quiet,* 2014.
