Cathey Miller in the Dallas Observer
When we found out about Cathey Miller's Just Visiting exhibition at IR Gallery, 830 Exposition Ave., we also discovered something very unusual about her. According to the gallery, Miller believes in an alternative universe called "Cathedonia," of which she is the queen. Now that's kind of odd, but it isn't so difficult to understand that if one--an artist, no less--believed in such a zany place, she'd want to paint it. We envy her, really. Our imaginary world fell by the wayside about the time we stopped getting school-sanctioned nap times. Miller's practice is childlike, imaginative, and it's gotta be an awesome escape. Coupling acrylic paint with magpie tendencies, Miller paints her world and embellishes it with fake jewels, sparkly stuff and shiny goodness, then she presents "Cathedonia" and its inhabitants visiting here on Earth with the flair of sideshow poster art. Now if only we could remember what that magical world under our couch-cushion fort was like. The show runs from June 10 through July 8 with a reception from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. June 18. Call 469-951-7323.
