“Everything is Fine Here” by Casebeer
Artist will be present for the opening reception on April 2nd
This body of work stems from a non fictional novel that casebeer has underway. Artworks and marginalia as a working outline for the book are about the proverbial elephant in the room, this new body of work will have elements of mental mapping by way of illustration, the writing of related stories surrounding the question, Is it just the brain, or is it something else.
Casebeer is an artist and a writer whose work explores meaningful coincidence. Her mixed-media paintings are composed through a process that begins with a few words, book scraps, color, brush strokes and drips, and then builds through layers of paint, found collage pieces and overheard sentences until eventually they reveal an order and a narrative, and a curious, synchronic relationship to one another. Now based in Phoenix- Casebeer was born in Madrid, Spain, raised in Flagstaff, Arizona, and spent a stint living in The Hotel Chelsea in New York. She received her degree in Journalism from Northern Arizona University and did post-graduate studies in fiction writing at Arizona State University. She is represented by Tilt Gallery in Scottsdale. Her piece, “Wait. Do You?” was part of The Phoenix 7th Ave Streetscape Public Art Project in 2012. Casebeer has exhibited her work in Scottsdale at Tilt and 5&6 Galleries, in Downtown Phoenix at Monorchid, The Ice House, Legend City Studios and the ASU Downtown Museum, and at the Phoenix International Airport Museum.
