A musician, comic-book author, and freak-folk portraitist, Christine Shields evokes a fiercely personal vision of girlhood with pastel-colored, phantasmal paintings of sad-eyed girls before totemic animals. The multi-talented San Francisco Art Institute alumnus draws on a rather ethereal muse ("psychic homelessness") for this site-specific installation at Triple Base, with many canvases evoking the haunting beauty of the 1973 film The Spirit of the Beehive. The 24th street gallery opens its basement — Triple Basement — to fully accommodate Shields' interest in the spirit world.
