Roots and Wings
March 26 – April 29, 2026
Opening Reception:
Thurs, March 26th from 6-8pm
Artist Lucy Bailey
This body of work is titled Roots and Wings, after the line often attributed to Goethe about children needing roots for stability and wings for independence. While our “what if” questions will never be fully answered, I hope viewers will reflect on their personal narratives, hold gratitude for their sources of resilience, and offer empathy and compassion to themselves and others.
Lucy Bailey Gallery Talks:
Perspectives on “Roots and Wings”, Tuesday, April 14, 6:00 – 7:30 PM, no cost
“Deconstructing the Construction”, Tuesday, April 21, 6:00 – 7:30 PM, no cost
