Opening reception: Thursday, December 2, 5-7pm
Exhibition dates: December 2 – 30, 2010

Canessa Gallery presents From Mayhem to Paris, mixed media works by Beverly Mills.

Mills explores two human extremes: violence and creation. She works in acrylic, adding photographs, metal and wood to explore the destruction of war, its scars and its attractions.  She contrasts this with cities like  Paris and Rome, where savagery becomes civilized.

Beverly Mills is a long time civic activist who has traveled in over twenty countries gathering images, philosophies and histories to nurture her visual vocabulary.

My attraction to the energy of urban areas inspires a playful, excited examination of the frenzied systems around me. Highly active environments such as ports, stations, airfields, or sub-street infrastructures feel like childhood experiments with Tinkertoys and Lego bricks, or voyages into Richard Scarry's seemingly chaotic worlds. I’ve been exploring my awareness of these arrangements and my position within them, making associations with anatomy and physicality, and allowing myself the opportunity to revisit a youthful mindset that seems more and more fleeting. --Jamie Banes
