KALEID Gallery is proud to present:

“Helen: Queen of the Flies”
drawings and short film by resident artist Julie Barrett

Opening Reception: First Friday August 6th 5pm–9pm.
Artist will be in attendance.
Part of the South FIRST FRIDAYS Art Walk SJ.

Carl is in love with a girl named Helen.
Others don’t approve of his desires.
“She’s too pretty,” they say.
“She’s too young,” they say.
“She’s too dead,” they say.
He is not deterred, he loves her.

“Helen: Queen of the Flies” is Julie Barret’s new series of drawings and accompanying short film about an obsessive love. A love that brings despair upon oneself and despise from others. Julie’s drawings are her imagined depictions of true events of nearly a hundred years ago that drove a man beyond the edge of reason over a young woman. This account that Julie illustrates so delicately and hauntingly, is beyond a specific tale, it is a universal allegory for the heights and depths that love can provoke in us.

Julie Barrett is a Bay Area artist and teacher.
