Local artist Constance Braden shows fairy-tale images with heavy undertones. Six of the Victorian-ish images included in her exhibition Tales were made to match the story-poems of Outgrown, by Bradens friend and local author Stella Brice. Another two take a semi-gothic view of the Biblical story of the Annunciation. Braden also dedicates five charcoal works to Hindu myths, with an emphasis on Kali, the goddess of life and death and destruction and creation, best known to Americans as one of those scary-looking things with lotsa arms. Braden will no doubt present her in a way thats both intelligent and accessible. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Gallery 1724, 1724 Bissonnet. The show runs through May 24.
