Kay Bradner: Haven at Seager Gray Gallery

There is no mistaking the work of Kay Bradner with its crisp incised images on aluminum contrasted by areas of satisfying abstraction. Asked about the title of the exhibition the artist explained, “I have been thinking of our personal ways of creating safe havens in this large world.” In an earlier exhibition, entitled “Aloft,” Bradner painted flying dreams in our awake lives – hang gliders, sails and birds. “This show is similar,” explains Bradner, “like our paths to the feelings of elevation, our ways of creating a life that feels secure is personal and if we are lucky, is intertwined with feelings of freedom and joy.”
