Hard Passages: Paintings by Lucia O'Reilly January 9, 2009

O’Reilly begins her work by “drawing with fire” on 400 lb paper, then adds layers of color, text and objects to express her ambivalence about her own religious tradition and her feelings about injustices being committed in the name of fundamentalist religion. The work is built around “hard passages” from the Bible that promote or condone cruelty and violence, the subjugation of women, and slavery.ADMISSION:Adults $8, Seniors $6, Students and Military $5, Children 5 and under and members are free.
