From the Center Everywhere: Casey Dressell 

September 5th-October 5th, 2025

McGrath Gallery, Bellarmine University

​

“I did know that I wanted to feel the whole field, the whole rectangle, the whole area, the world.”

       -Philip Guston, I Paint What I Want to See 

 

This body of work is a love story and spiritual reflection on the past few years since moving to Kentucky,  and thinking about the sacred spaces we spend time in- and the more personal sacred spaces within us. The meditative spaces where creation comes from- has informed this work and the show itself.  

 

Recalling visitors, and the beautiful interactions with strangers, friends and artists-in my gallery work and the memorable conversations and moments, those connections- have given light and meaning to what I do as an artist and as a human. 

 

This exhibition combines my painting and craft practices together, by creating space where these modes of making can offer different visual moments,  becoming a reflection on time and material.
