“Emily’’ (mixed media), by Joe Caruso, in Galatea Fine Art’s (Boston) online gallery.
This text runs with it:
“She stares out of a prison of an unknown making, complacent in her captivity. The woman's image in this construction seems unaware that time is passing. Once she was young and the world was open. Now she guards hidden memories.’’
Mr. Caruso lives in the Charlestown section of Boston, though his studio is in South Boston. Charlestown is the oldest part of Boston, having been originally laid out in 1629.
