BLUEorange Contemporary is pleased to present Interior Mortification, a show curated by Cassie Skelly. Join us for the opening reception on August 27th from 6:00 – 9:00 PM.

“Interior Mortification” is an exhibition which reconciles the dying of the self. Caitlin G McCollom presents fifteen paintings on paper spanning two years time including new work poetically selected and arranged by curator Cassie Skelly.

By using specific colors and archetypical shapes McCollom presents abstract symbolic icons. McCollom’s paintings are marked by both their vibrant colors and esoteric shapes and also her very specialized technique of painting on plastic paper.

The work speaks to three types of mortification: death of the body, death of the mind, and death of the ego. A wandering through the physical and metaphysical revolution of the self from infectious disease and mental illness to a surrender to spiritual communion and greater mysteries of existence beyond the body.

More about Cassie Skelly
Cassie Skelly is an exhibiting mixed media artist and photographer in Houston, TX. She is an active member of the local art community, and can be found working at BLUEorange Contemporary. She received her BFA in Photography/Digital Media with a background in Art History. Her most recent professional work has been focused on filming BLUEorange Art Adventures, a collaborative project with fellow artist friends, Ken General, Megan Spacek and Jacob Spacek.

Cassie’s artwork is inspired by the universal struggle of self discovery–transcending from personal experience and spiritual fulfillment. Developing themes on dream interpretation, memory, the collective subconscious and our psyche is what ignites her dedication to challenge the process of self reflection and dialogue.
