“Given that Larson collects his raw materials from the streets, it’s no surprise that his works have the surface texture of weathered billboards. But by bending, folding and meticulously arranging select scraps, he transforms them into richly hued geometric matrixes whose tonal values and patterns shift according to where you stand. Units of identical measure are his building blocks, but the results vary enormously. A foil-and-paper-based piece created from Marlboro Lights packages (Gold Standard), for example, recalls the minimalist, monochrome grids of Agnes Martin, while a similarly conceived work (Red Honey), rendered in sun-bleached shades of Marlboro red, appears as an Op-ish matrix of hexagonal patterns.” –DAVID M. ROTH
