Taking its title from a Black Sabbath tune, Mary Elizabeth Yarbrough's solo show Symptom of the Universe taps Ozzy's evil vibes in a series of wall-mounted pieces and large-scale sculptures made from electrical tape and contact paper. Swathes of inky negative space swallow up the mid-sections of Yarbrough's translations of found images, spreading like oozing tar pits. Yarbrough even exploits the electrical tape's mirror-like sheen in two psychedelic hangings that make cubist chopped salad out of the viewer's face if they're examined too closely.
