It’s hard to take your eyes off the work of Michael B. Platt. In his current Charlotte-based exhibit, Spirits & Spaces (on view until Oct. 3), Platt — a “visual storyteller” — makes use of digital photography and the printing process to express traces of the human spirit. The resulting images register as both frightening and comforting … and demand a double (or triple) take.
