Corinne Rae Beardsley
On view through Sunday, August 24
Beardsley's ceramic and multimedia female nudes seem conscious of their nudity, and often appear to make sensuous ey contact with the viewer. Their dreamlike eyes offer tenderness, though, more than overt sexuality.
"Corinne's installations are vulnerable yet powerful," Kristina Newman-Scott says. "Herein lies their disconcertin beauty."
"These ladies have a daydream-like, romantic ideal," Beardsley says, "an exposing this in public makes them vulnerable, and makes the audience feel vulnerable as well."
