Label TextMark Khaisman creates what he terms “pictorial illusions” by layering translucent packing tape over Plexiglass and light. His subject matter is culled from popular culture and includes designer merchandise, celebrity portraits, and stills from popular movies. The title for this work is a quotation from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1945 film, Spellbound.
