elements of change

new drawings by casey callahan

the only thing i am sure of in life is change.

the only thing i am sure will happen is loss.

things change. seasons cycle, time flows.

days lead to weeks, lead to months, lead to years, and the only thing i am certain of, is this.

the more i embrace this change and the more i welcome something new, the more beauty i find

over bitterness.

to let something flourish, and then let go and let it die, all in the same vein.

natural and rhythmic, day and night, dusk to dawn.

to let something rest, to be okay with it changing. to be okay if everything changes.

because it does.

if there is one thing i am sure of in life it is this.

Casey Callahan is an interdisciplinary artist and designer living and working in Omaha, Nebraska.

Her practice is interested in the process of perception. While the exhibitions and projects she

creates may vary in medium, her practice is always keenly focused on the intricacies of a viewing

subject. Using immersive installations or optically charged objects, she is interested in activating

an awareness of the embodied experience of art. Whether drawing from art historical movements

such as Impressionism, or more contemporary movements like Op-art or Relational Aesthetics,

Callahan seeks to create intimate, multi-sensory experiences.

“By blurring the lines between art and viewer, I endeavor to create a space for wonder and

healing.” - Casey Callahan
