eri king’s solo exhibition Scripted Spaces reimagines the intricate visual and psychological landscapes of Las Vegas casinos, featuring new paintings inspired by the enigmatic patterns of casino carpets and the endless, maze-like spaces they inhabit. This body of work examines how design strategies in these environments are crafted to obscure and unveil elements hidden in plain sight. King's paintings explore how casinos use patterning and spatial layouts to captivate, disorient, and evoke desire. They invite viewers to reflect on the psychological manipulation embedded within these engineered experiences. Scripted Spaces illustrates the interplay between design, perception, and the subtle influences that shape these controlled realms.
