	Esther Neisen's Beautiful Creatures at Canisius College by Jack Foran
	Esther Neisen’s work on exhibit at the Canisius College art gallery consists of oversize images of insects and such creatures meticulously constructed of bits and pieces of reclaimed film, photo negatives, and found materials, handsomely displayed on light boxes. The title of the exhibit is Duplicity, and a brief statement as to the artist’s intention with the works is “to express interpersonal familial relationships, social anxieties, and aggressions.”
