FRANCES BAGLEY
Tiny Dancer, 2008
mixed media, 24 x 14 x 7 inches
In Bagley's new work, fabrics are molded to form figures, not draped over cast ones, notes Lucia Simek in a review of the exhibition,
"Ms. Bagley turns her previous themes of mystery and illusion on their heads, upending her figures and mounting them to the wall and floor to reveal nothing beneath but hollowness. It's as if Ms. Bagley is feigning a revelation here, showing us but not showing us. She's teasing us, yet again, into wonder."
-THE Magazine, May 2009. (PDF article)
