The Center for Craft, Creativity & Design in Hendersonville, NC, Offers Fall Exhibition
The mountains of Western North Carolina contain
the fourth largest concentration of craft artists in the country.
Such a large number of extremely talented creative people often
leads to the sharing of ideas and media among artists. WNC is
no exception to the phenomenon, and the efforts of this creative
melting pot produce extraordinary works of art. In celebration
of works of this nature, The Center for Craft, Creativity &
Design, in Herndersonville, NC, proudly announces its fall Mixed
Media Exhibition, which will be on view through Dec. 3, 2002.
The exhibition contains pieces by the finest local craftsmen with
faculty and students of the three University of North Carolina
mountain campuses. The array of media includes glass works, wood
sculptures, printmaking, clay and paper and is sure to please
any art lover.
Featured artists include: Rob Levin, internationally exhibited
and collected glass artist showing sculptures of wood and glass
that explore the world of tension and balance. Kathy Triplett
is also internationally exhibited and collected, her whimsical
teapots explore the mysteries of clay from every angle. Dan Essig
is a book-maker and sculptor. His work combines the ancient practices
of book making with the marvels of modern sculpture practices.
Stoney Lamar, a NC native, uses a multi-axis approach to wood
sculpting that has garnered him the national spotlight as one
of the best wood workers in the country. His balanced, asymmetrical
pieces create a visage of unique beauty and personal vision.
Marianne Stevens Suggs, an Applachian State University fine-art faculty member displays beautiful collaged pieces that engage the eye with their beauty while engaging the heart and the intellect with their social messages. Robert Dunning a University of North Carolina-Asheville fine art faculty member exhibits beautiful prints that explore the "themes of fertility and growth and the private spiritual and psychological forces which influence this growth." Matt Liddle, a Western Carolina University faculty member, creates letterpress prints that explore the limitless regions of non-traditional book making and the printing process.
The Fine Art departments of these three universities also selected three students to participate in this exhibition for their outstanding work in mixed media.
