Chapter 13: Curatorial label for "Ex Voto / Lung"

Speaker 0 00:00:00 Chapter 13, curatorial label for XO Lung. This chapter is the text written by Mackenzie Holbrook for XO Lung. It is a minute long Speaker 1 00:00:12 After graduating from York University in Toronto in 1977. Shayley Keeley spent the next two decades between New York and Paris creating the large scale drawing and installation works for which she's acclaimed. Currently working out of Toronto. Keeley describes her practice as a visceral and cerebral activity. Keeley's process is intuitive, often beginning the work with no set end in mind, but rather exploring how her improvisational drawing takes shape. This encaustic drawing of a pair of lungs brings together much of Keely's philosophy of creation. She proposes that drawing offers an index of the artist's body and expression evidenced here by evocative line work, which carries the traces of her hand.
