Center for Craft, Creativity and Design in Hendersonville, NC, Features Works by Appalachian State Art Students
The Center for Craft, Creativity and Design, located on the Kellogg Conference Center Campus in Hendersonville, NC, is featuring an exhibition by Appalachian State University's Graduating Senior Fine Art Sculpture Students, from Apr. 10 - 29, 2002.
The Center for Craft,Creativity and Design (CCCD) is a regional inter-institutional Center of the University of North Carolina and Appalachian State University is one of the institutions served by the Center. Throughout the year work by the fine art faculty and students of the three UNC mountain universities have been included in the exhibitions with professional craft artists from the region. This exhibit is the first to focus on work by students from one campus.
The seven ASU Graduating Senior Fine Art Students completing their studies in Dec., 2001 will display both two and three dimensional work. Included in this portion of the exhibit are: Uijin Park, will be displaying constructions of steel and paper; Heather Cadmus' work is a figurative installation of collage and clay; Alison Miller will offer works of two-dimensional expressionistic collage; Kyle Keeter will present works which adapts Biblical Themes with present day motifs in prints; Mary Stuart Deal uses pinhole photography in a self-portrait installation; and Debbie Dearborn's paintings and batik reflect a recent trip to Africa.
There are six Advanced and Intermediate Sculpture Students with work in this exhibit using materials from fiber to wood to cast metal. Their work reflects a personal approach to the medium and subject matter. Included are: Adam Adcock created several versions of an egg to explore personal issues; Meg Crowley made different versions of self-portraits in various style; Billie Knight created a self-portrait that places himself as the viewer; Rob Sebrell made carved and cast works about the joys of skateboarding; Drew Grimm created steel and paper constructions focusing on the idea of personal journey; and Sean Mathews sculpted pieces using fiber as a medium.
The students from Appalachian State University represent the continuation of the craft tradition in Western North Carolina. Their work highlights the extraordinary level of artistry taught in this area through many venues, especially the Universities of Western North Carolina.
