BOB CAREY: Ballerina Exhibition

Ballerina exhibition by Bob Carey September 14 – December 2, 2012 Showing at Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum 

Ballerina stems from Bob Carey’s body of work called The Tutu Project, which humorously depicts the tutu clad artist in playful predicaments and scenarios. The project began 10 years ago, when Carey and his wife moved from Arizona to New York. Six months later, Carey’s wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and the photographs have taken on a new identity and become a visual anthem for the fight against this devastating disease.
