Summit One Gallery in Highlands, NC, Features Senior Exhibitions

Krista Hunsucker and Michele Humphrey, students at Western Carolina University, will present Senior Exhibitions at Summit One Gallery in Highlands, NC, Dec. 7 - 14, 2002.

Both students will be receiving their Bachelor of Fine Art, with concentration in Ceramics. In addition, Humphrey will also receive her BFA with a concentration in Photography and a Bachelor of Art in German.

Hunsucker has also studied under Linda Christianson at the Penland School of Arts and Crafts in Penland, NC. Humphrey has also studied ceramics under Nick Joerling and George Rektor; papermaking under Marcia Gross; and jewelry and metalsmithing under Sandra Sherman. Humphrey has also been an assistant instructor at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC.

Both young women have participated in numerous juried art and craft shows and have won awards.

Humphrey feels that today's society had developed a ready-made attitude; quoting the British potter, Michael Cardew, "If everything in your home is mass produced, you might as well be living in a hotel". As a ceramic artist she aspires to create work which alters this automatic response in our society. In working with clay she finds inspiration in found objects and architectural structures. Sharp clean edges rather than organic contours are what intrigue and direct her to transform an organic medium into geometric structure.
