PRESS RELEASE: Closing reception for Catherine Hall / Adam DeVarney during First Friday at The S.P.A.C.E. and Backspace Galleries, Burlington










Cl
osing reception for Catherine Hall / Adam DeVarney during First Friday at The S.P.A.C.E. and Backspace Galleries. Friday August 5th from 5-8pm

Catherine Hall has been making plaster and wax faces cast from distorted latex molds for over a decade, using recycled flea-market dolls and animals. She has incorporated the doll's bodies into small figures, and made small encaustic paintings of doll's and children's faces. Hall wants the works to embody all of the emotions evoked by our childhood memories.
DeVarney delves into the heart and soul of fighter pilots past, and lost voyagers of space and time. Vagabonds of the great beyond, these haunting characters search for love, lust, and revenge. Traveling up from an exhibit in Manhattan, this series portrays a collection of weary and weathered ghosts of aviation by a South End, Burlington artist.
