“Delicacy” is a multidisciplinary exhibition showcasing the work of five New England mixed media artists. Each artist explores ideas of intimacy, while delicately applied techniques resonate in the work. In addition to woven expressions of elegance, the work simultaneously asserts an undeniable vigor.
One of many shared trends throughout the artists’ work is their inspiration for subject matter–the intimacy of their personal beliefs and histories. Another commonality is their attention to identity within society. The execution of delicate techniques are evident in the artists’ process and exploration of the picture plane. Whether the works are digital images, collage, drawings, or sculpture, each piece holds the essence of fragility and vulnerability.
Cory Munro Shea refers to this body of work as her “Worry Dolls”. Her work expresses her lifelong experience with anxiety while trying to fall asleep at night. Her use of images intertwining with one another symbolizes the sensitive and delicate conversations one has with themselves when spiraling through these recurring feelings and emotions. Ultimately the final images exude strength by expressing these moments of vulnerability through bold and impeccable composition choices.

"Though the show does not offer many photos, Craig, a photographer, cited a digital photo, “Salvation Mountain’’ by Cambridge resident Cory Munro Shea, as offering “a sense of reverie and nostalgia with a bit of mystery.’’ In the photo, the young girl holding a bouquet of flowers seems to fade into the field in which she stands, creating a ghostly aura"
