REVIEW: Hand of God in Washington City Paper

Louis Jacobson reviews Jon’s current show at Photoworks Glen Echo, The Hand of God, in the Washington City Paper:

Malis’ images offer a series of largely circular forms that, while less dramatic than Earth’s moon, focus the eye on an enigmatic source of light. (The title of Malis’ project—The Hand of God, which comes from darkroom lingo for heavy manipulation of light—extends the heavenly metaphor.) Malis’ in-your-face fixtures share an unsettling vibe, reflective of lamps in an interrogation room.
