texture and his unique method of

Revised 4/17/17 3

using oil paints. The 18 works on

display are created using only his

breath and thinned oil paint. Carey

describes his process as "a return to

the human element in art, each mark

on the canvas is air from my lungs, a

moment in existence."

The works are both mesmerizing and

ethereal, reflecting a process that

"focuses on using a stream of

consciousness composition to

amalgamate the colors into a literal

representation of my breath."
