An exhibition of works by Salt Lake City artist Downy Doxey on display in the Kimball Art Center’s Badami Gallery from June 8- July 18, 2005. Downy Doxey: Fabric of Memory is a series of stunning mixed media creations. Doxey’s work incorporates fabrics, paints, inks, and found objects to create works that present the everyday patterns of life to the viewer. To create her art, Doxey combines traditional embroidery techniques with pigmented ink transfer on linen to create a series of unique mixed media works. ȁThreads and fabrics are familiar, setting the stage for deeper connections to memory, a feeling of “being right at home,” explains Doxey. This show mark Doxey’s second appearance at the Kimball Art Center since 2004. Her work was included in the 2004 Utah Arts Council Statewide Annnual Competition, where she was the recipient of the prestigious juror’s award.

Also on display, Expressions by Claire Dunaway in the Kimball Art Center’s Garage Gallery from June 1- July 18, 2005. This exhbit features a series of acrylic and mixed media paintings depicting nudes and faces. Dunaway has always turned to people for inspiration. “I am an avid people watcher,” Dunaway explains. “People and expressions intrigue me. People express so much without words, often without knowing. This show presents wordless expressions, some expressions through the face and some through body language.” Dunaway’s goal in her work is to evoke similar expressions from the viewer of each piece. Dunaway was born and raised in Marietta, GA. She moved to Park City in November of 2003, and currently splits her time between Park City and Marietta.
