June Carey's first solo exhibition was held in Glasgow Print Studio in 1993 and was
reviewed by W. Gordon Smith:
|
 |
"Her presence, even in the biggest of salons in the best of company, has been signalled by one of her naked figures whose gender is often uncertain.
All of this is accomplished with fastidious subtlety and skill from the prodigious source of her imagination. She allows her subconscious to dictate to her and long ago took the courageous decision to follow its instant lead without question even when some of the images she summons threaten to unnerve her." |
 |
