Ginny Casey “Play Things”

Half Gallery

This event has ended.

Eyes peek out from under the lid of a jar. Bulging pots rest on tabletops, suggestively prodded and pinched by disembodied hands in gangrenous tones of blue, green, and purple. The handle of a hammer bends, as if made of flesh. Brushy, soaked-in, sanded-down paint imbues the mottled light and eccentric forms with a subaquatic softness.

This excerpt comes from a review in The New Yorker of Ginny Casey’s Ghost Maker exhibition at 106 Green last winter. This summer Casey exhibited in two group shows; Fathoms at Radical Abacus in Santa Fe and NURTURE/Nature at DC Moore Gallery curated by Carrie Moyer. Ginny Casey received her MFA from RISD in 2008. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
