In January 2010 GALLERY CRAWL checked out Amy Casey's new exhibition of paintings at Michael Rosenthal Gallery. Casey's latest work emphasizes the support structures and webs that hold her massive clusters of tiny, detailed houses together. She works with ideas of rebirth and community survival, giving the buildings she paints a relatable, anthropomorphized quality. Aesthetically reminiscent of architecture found in the Midwest landscape where she lives and works, Casey's subjects navigate precarious situations, attempting to adapt and thrive despite their unsettled circumstances.
