Laurel Hausler at Nevin Kelly |
|
October 19, 2008
 The Divine Ms. H  Laurel Hausler's new show, "A History of Dogs and Witches" opened Thursday night at Nevin Kelly. The young Ms. Hausler has put together a show that combines content, sometimes scary and mostly provocative, with an old school painterly technique that perfectly suits the imagery. The pictures are full of women styled in the kind of 1950's aesthetic I associate with Harper Lee (think lunch in the Garfinckle's tearoom in Richmond), but these ladies are haunted by fear and dread and are barely suppressing their anger at a situation they can't control. They are poised on the verge of letting it all go, unleashing the violence of their terrors.  Department Store Witches
