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.
