I wanted to send out a HUGE congratulations to

orangeale for getting such a great write-up in the Cleveland Free Times!!!

Casey's prints are exciting. They deal with the same issues, but the deliberation of the press and its procedural demands seem to enforce a different perspective. In "Hover," for instance, a Casey creature hangs on for dear life as a tide of amber shadow rises along a city street. In "Attack," large, blue, flailing octopus-things explode across the borders of a beautifully executed, relatively conventional print depicting a nocturnal factory scene. A knot of deformed and frightened pink animals huddles in the foreground. In these and other works, Casey uses layering and the physical properties of her media, as much or more than descriptive drawing, to evoke loss of control. She says, "I've been thinking about Plan Bs and escape methods — how when you're left with nothing and everything's scary, you just start bailing."

The end may indeed be near. Check out Casey's show not for escape strategies, but for ways to bathe in the rising waters of the apocalypse.

YAY publicity!
