In Whitaker’s “Portals”(2023), industrial matter and image transport the viewer to unfound worlds of concrete, open hearts, light, and child’s play. Allow yourself to see found material and debris as keyholes; matter provides a crack in reality, a mirror manifests imagination, and fragments of The Found become a destination.
