Editorialby Tom Starland, Editor and PublisherCOMMENTARYOn The Coverwho still like to hold a paper in theirhands, but time is on our side and we’revery patient. We’ve waited 25 years forsome folks to come on board - what’sanother 25?On our cover this month are imagesfrom the exhibit, BODY & SOUL: Birth– Death – Religion – Myth, on view atFRANK - Franklin Street Arts Collectivein Chapel Hill, NC. The exhibit based onthe interpretation and exploration of humanrelationships to birth, death, religionand/or myth will be on view through Mar.4, 2012. It’s our first cover representingNC’s Triangle area - Chapel Hill, Durham,& Raleigh.We received our first paid ad from thatarea this month. The first of many I hope.We’ve been doing all we can to bringreaders information about what’s going onin that part of North Carolina, but we needthe people in the visual art communitythere to step up and represent.We also received our second ad fromanother group in Eastern NC, an area wecall East of I-95. We have had ads fromCarolina Creations Fine Art and ContemporaryCraft Gallery, in New Bern, NC,and now we have an ad from the PamlicoCounty Arts Council about an upcomingevent in Oriential, NC. One is on theNeuse River and one is at the mouth ofthe Neuse River. There must be somethinggood in the water. We also need to heremore from folks in the visual arts communityEast of I-95. We’ve featured anexhibit being presented at Barton Collegein Wilson, NC, on the cover in Apr. 2011.Of course we’d also like to get ads fromMyrtle Beach, Rock Hill or Aiken in SC,and Asheville, Winston-Salem, or Greensboroin NC. Hey, we can dream can’t we?Although we have been publishingan arts newspaper for 25 years, we havejust one year under our belt as a totallyelectronic newspaper - something that willtake a lot of folks to get used to - thosePage 4 - Carolina Arts, February 2012A Few New ItemsLast month saw a couple of new additionsto Carolina Arts. First was theseparation of our Index - offering one listfor content and another for our advertisers.This was one suggestion from a readerwhich we had already been planning.Hopefully this will help people find whatthey are itchin’ to look at first before divinginto each issue as a whole.The other new addition was a mapof Upstate South Carolina. It’s not asdetailed as some of our maps but any timewe get a cluster of advertisers in a certainarea, doing ads on a regular basis - we’llbe happy to add new detailed maps likewe have for other areas. Anything is possible.This month we’re presenting our firstinstallment of a report from In the Groveby Rhonda McCanless, who is editor andpublisher of In the Grove (http://www.scribd.com/professional_page), a monthlynewsletter about Seagrove, NC, thatfocuses on pottery news. Rhonda and herhusband Eck, own and operate Eck Mc-Canless Pottery in Seagrove.The Seagrove area is home of the NCPottery Center and over 100 individualpotteries - quite a unique area in centralNorth Carolina.We’re hoping this is just the first ofdifferent voices bringing readers newsfrom different parts of the Carolina visualart community. Although we receive infofrom throughout the Carolinas aboutwhat’s going on, it’s not the same as beingTable of Contentsthere - being part of the local news loop.Folks interested in reporting on activitiesin your area should get in touch withus by e-mail at(info@carolinaarts.com).Over on the Blog SceneFor those of you who are followers ofour blogs - Carolina Arts Unleashed, anextension of my editorial commentary andanything else I feel the need to address,and Carolina Arts News, our place forlate breaking news, news that’s late, andnews we think you need to know - wehave added the Carolina Clay ResourceDirectory Blog.By the time you are reading thiscommentary, Carolina Arts News willhave posted over 700 entries since startingin Aug. 2010. This is where you’llfind a wide variety of info offered fromCall for Entries, info about Fundraisers,Juried Show Results, info about Awardsand Grant Opportunities, notice of ArtLectures, accomplishments by individualartists, art organizations, and arts institutions,etc. - it’s a real mixed bag.Most of the time we are adding itemson a daily basis, so it’s the place to keep intouch with what’s going on in the Carolinasthat is not included in our monthlyissues.This year, Carolina Arts Unleashedwill tackle the issue of Marketing the Artsin the Carolinas or the lack of it. Manyindividuals and some groups have a longway to go toward improving their techniquesat marketing - themselves, theirexhibits, and visual art events.I started this series off on Jan. 12,2012, with a piece using a technique borrowedfrom comedian Jeff Foxworthy.He stated that “You might be a Redneckif you...”, I offered, “You might be prettybad at marketing when you...”. I hopereaders got the message without gettingmad at the messenger.I’ll be adding new entries throughoutthe year dealing in more detail about problemsmentioned in that first piece.Pottery 101 in Salisbury, NC, will presentthe exhibit, All Dressed Up, featuringpottery by Verna Witt, on view from Feb. 10through Mar. 9, 2012. A reception will beheld on Feb. 10, from 6-9pm.Witt has studied art and wood sculpturewith Toshio Odate at the Brooklyn Museumand figurative sculpture with ChaimGross at Educational Alliance in NYC.She also studied basket making at Peter’sValley Craft Community in New Jersey. Shereceived a degree in Textile Design from theFashion Institute of Technology and workedwith several companies specializing inhome fashion fabric.Witt is now retired and is an active potter.She is currently a member of ClayMattersPottery Guild in Charlotte, NC, and alsoacts as a docent at the Mint Museum inUptown as well as the Mint Museum onRandolph. She has attended workshops withmany accomplished potters such as MarkHewitt, Suze Lindsay, Nicholas Joerling,Joyce Michaud, Daniel Johnson, Sandi Pierentozzi,and Neil Patterson.Influences from Witt’s career as a textiledesigner can be seen in her current work.Whether she is incorporating materials suchas beads and pine needles or “dressing up”a vase with buttons and zippers, she createspieces that use both form and texture tochallenge the senses.Witt offered the following artist statement:“Pottery began as a means to createfunctional vessels for everyday use. I nowenjoy stretching the limits of the clay toreach beyond the functional to create worksthat challenge the senses in both form andtexture.”“My current work draws from my careeras a textile designer. What started as a simplebutton at the collar of a vase has evolvedinto endless possibilities of ‘dressing up’ or‘fastening down’ clay.”“Exploring the possibilities of incorporatingother natural materials as reeds,I’m not an expert at marketing, butafter 25 years of dealing with press releasesent me about events - I’ve seen all thatcan be done wrong or all that is left outwhen people are trying to get the publicto participate. Plus we may receive somecontributions from those who are expertsat marketing. So stay tuned.Our newest blog entry, Carolina ClayResource Directory Blog helps solve aproblem we suffered ourselves in convertingCarolina Arts to a totally electronicnewspaper. That change called for differentsoftware and using different computersto accomplish this task.We had started the Carolina ClayResource Directory, our attempt to keepthose interested informed about what’sgoing on in the Carolina clay community,just before our big change using thesoftware we have used for years.

A separatereception for Connie Winters and ChristyKinard will be held on Feb. 24, 2012 from6-9pm.Inspired by abstract expressionists, JaneSchmidt uses the subject of landscape toexplore the edge between abstraction andrepresentation with an emphasis on theexpressive use of color. Using decisivebrush marks, Schmidt commingles vibrantcolors to create a visual experience forevery viewer.influence on the art scene in the SoutheasternUnited States. Citing the work of classicFrench Impressionists as an ongoing sourceof inspiration in her own artwork, Wintersnaturally gravitates to France as the locationfor her landscapes. Her approach to thecanvas is that of active observer, intent onrecording the interplay of color and lightas it unfolds in each scene. Through herenergetic interpretations of nature and localcolor, Winters uses the canvas to convey herown enthusiasm to the viewer.local artists working in a wide range ofmedia, including pastels, oils, acrylic,wood, fiber, copper, mixed media, andglass mosaic.Richard Fennell, Interior with Chair and Green Drapery, oil on canvs, 48”x40”FeaturingRichard FennellWork by Craig MooneyCraig Mooney makes paintings ofdramatic moments and heightened emotionalitythat are known for being expansiveand expressive. Though a representationalpainter, the artist incorporates a myriad ofabstract qualities throughout his paintings.In his figurative work, Mooney romanticizeshis subjects and presents them in anatmospheric lens that is best described asdreamlike. His paintings appear to be capturinga moment suspended in time. Whilehis work feels familiar, it is not specific.Rather it is, on a very basic level, symbolismof what could have been, has been orwill be.Connie Winters has emerged as a strongProvidence Gallery in Charlotte, NC,will present the exhibit, Little Bird: Compositions,featuring works by Travis BruceBlack, on view from Feb. 3 - 29, 2012. A receptionwill be held on Feb. 3, from 6-9pm.The exhibition features the painter’spopular “Chirps” series, vivid small birdfiguratives created in watercolor and pencilson paper and mounted on wood.Black’s “Chirps”, depict colorful birdfiguratives in the foreground, while in thebackground, the artist freely explores thegive and take between the elements of line,shape and color. The painter likens theseworks to “explosions, color gradients, unfilledline drawings and a rich chaos comingtogether as a recognizable creature.”It is the artist’s deft use of the elementsof line and color that draw the viewer intoeach composition. The layers of vivid colorand intersecting and diverging lines causethe observer to question: What am I reallyseeing? Is this really a bird? Or, if you lookmore closely, do the combinations of colorand line take you out of the world of realisminto a world of rich fantasy and imagination?Black credits his wife’s quilting andchildhood memories of growing up in theWork by Christy KinardChristy Kinard’s excitement for art hasbeen developing since her early childhoodin Georgia. Her mixed media collages ofacrylic paint, torn papers and stencils aresometimes painted on wood boxes createdby her father, Bob Kinard, or otherfound objects such as door panels. Kinard’soeuvre includes various themes of animalsand bugs, vegetables, flowers, and still lifeworks.

His choice of mediumand approach to his artwork is decisive.The combinations of strong lines withfluid watercolor are effectively used by thepainter to simultaneously illustrate controland chaos.Black explains his artistic motives thusly,“To express the fullness and my experienceof life I try to work in visual paradoxes likestraight lines versus curved lines.

REVISITEDA Few Words From Down UnderA Few Words from Down UnderAnd the Winner is Artby Judith McGrath, first run in our Dec.2001 issueA dear friend and ex-student of minecalled the other day to share some goodnews. It seems she’s been short-listedfor an award; a State Arts SponsorshipPrestige Award to be precise. She wasso excited, and totally impressed despitenever having heard of the presentation,and could I please explain it all to her. Tobe honest, I knew less then she did.After a few e-mails to “my sources”and phone calls to “those who shouldknow” I learned all about the fantasticparty; top notch three-course meal servedwith the best Australian wines, excellententertainment, wall to wall VIP’s,etc. but very little about the State ArtsSponsorship Prestige Award. So I put ina call to a friend in the Ministry for Artsand Culture who enlightened me. Heexplained how the scheme was set up anumber of years ago by the appropriategovernment department. Its purpose is toacknowledge and reward the private andcorporate sector for its support of the arts,to stimulate sponsorship for the arts andadvocate art patronage. At a posh annualdinner, awards are presented in a varietyof categories ranging from major contributionsmade by big business to outstandingcommitments made by individuals. Ipassed this information on to the dear ladywho was even more excited and delighted.For my friend to be honored in thisway is all well and good, she certainlydeserves public acclaim for all she doesbehind the scenes to support the arts inthis town. However, her nomination startedme thinking about the need for suchawards and the gala evenings at whichthey are presented. I’m neither lookingto bite the hand that pets the patron norsearching for a hidden agenda, I’m justtrying to put it all in perspective. Yes thereis a problem with securing sponsorship forthe arts. Tax incentives do only so muchto entice financial backing while payingto have your corporate logo printed oneverything from programs to bill boardsis reserved for big ticket items. Yes thereis a need to encourage a broader range ofsponsorship for non-blockbuster events.Unfortunately small business is too busyto get involved with backing art projectsand individuals are intimidated by thethought of being A Patron. Consideringthese facts, one can see how awards thatacknowledge a variety of contributions,money, skills, time and energy, would providea more inclusive approach to supportfor the arts. After all, people do appreciatea thank you for offering a helping hand.What I find disconcerting is that wemust drag people kicking and screamingtoward the concept of supporting the arts.I can’t help feeling sad that art patronagehas deteriorated to the point wherewe need a gala event to reward John Q.Public for his unflinching tenacity in theface of Kultcha. It makes me wonder howmuch the evening will cost and wouldthe money be better spent if it were givendirectly to a particular dance troupe, theatercompany, recording or film studio, orartists' co-operative?The caterers, kitchen hands, waiters,bar staff, cleaners, ushers and photographersat the function will no doubt bepaid, I wonder if the performers will. Iknow of one conference dinner whereeveryone from the managing coordinatorto the parking lot attendants were paidfor their expertise, while the entertainersreceived only a big round of applause.Yes they were still at university; studyingdance and drama full time while workingGreenwood Dr.Table of ContentsCalibogue SoundSea PinesPlantation12DTollBoothCordillo ParkwayS.

The only difference betweenthe “workers” and the “performers” is thelatter doesn’t provide a service they onlyentertain.For many, any artistic presentationdevoid of a Celebrity or a Professionalisn't Real Art, so they shouldn’t have topay for it. Be honest, how often have youpassed a street busker without droppinga coin in the hat? Or attended a gig at atavern and not bought the local band’sCD? Or avoided a live theater productionor art exhibition lacking a Big Namebecause of the ticket price? If you choosenot to pay for these presentations becauseyou consider they have no value you havea problem, one that has nothing to do withfinance. It is the inability to recognize art;you think it’s play so you won’t pay. Yesart is an extension of play and so it shouldbe. Ah but we're all grown up now anddon’t have time to make up ghost storiesin the dark, dance around the back yardwith an old curtain tied around the waist,pretend a stick is a light-saber, sing intoa hairbrush microphone, strum a plasticguitar, or keep a box of crayons in thedesk draw, you'll say. And I’ll say, howvery sad.Art’s position in society is misunderstoodbecause it is lumped in with sportand entertainment, other forms of play.We understand sport’s place in society;it’s a vicarious competition that placesheroes in a hierarchical ranking so weknow who is The Best. We understandthe part entertainment plays in society;it provides us with vicarious experiencesand celebrities we can envy or emulateso we recognize who is The Best. Yet wecan’t comprehend the position art holds insociety; one of providing a commentaryon communal priorities and recordingour cultural history. Isn’t the news mediasupposed to comment and record history?Sure, but unlike the media that reportsthe facts of life and tells us what is, artreflects the spirit of living and shows uswhat can be. We just don’t understandthat.

Gardner’sgeometric forms and sculptural surfacesare used as a canvas for his layers of paint,breaking with the historical art tradition ofillusionistic space in two dimensions.Gardner says “I apply my paint as anoverlay... to portray the process of time,erosion and aging.”Gardner’s works create a spatial narrativewith architectural references. In facthis work appears inspired by minimalistarchitecture as he utilizes basic geometricshapes as outlines, using only a singleshape or a small number of like shapes ascomponents for design unity. Architecturalgeometric outlines are the canvas thatGardner works with.Work by Daniel EssigWhen asked if he was inspired byarchitecture Gardner replied that one ofhis many influences is the work of theJapanese architect Tadao Ando. The architect’sbuildings are often characterized bythree-dimensional circulation paths. Thesepaths interweave between spaces formedboth inside geometric shapes and in thespaces between them.

Hisintrospective landscapes – he prefers to callthem “explorations”.Growing up in Anderson, SC, and nowliving in Saluda, NC, Jameson has alwaysfelt strong ties to his native region, and hisworks incorporate his passion for nature.But he also draws inspiration from a widerange of artists, from the Renaissancemasterpieces of Titian to the chiaroscuropaintings of Caravaggio, the rich texturesof Nicolai Fechin and the spectaculartreatment of light by renowned Americanlandscape painter Winslow Homer.“When I hike and climb in the darkcreeks and streams of upstate South Carolina,North Georgia, North Carolina, and inthe Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee,wherever I turn is a painting,” Jamesonwrites in his artist statement. “I’m intriguedby the light filtering through the trees, strikingthe rocks and the rushing water over therocks. The shadowed areas of the paintingsbecome places for silhouetted shapes, halflightsand half darks; distant light aroundthe turn of the creek or a ridge barely seenthrough the foliage.”David Houston, chief curator of theCrystal Bridges Museum of American Art,Bentonville, AR, describes Jameson’s paintingsas “carefully considered explorationsof both visible and intangible characteristicsof the natural order.” Houston adds that, inthe artist’s 35-year evolution as a painter, he“has traveled full circle from an early realismthrough minimalism and conceptualismto a reviewed but altered realism.”Jameson writes that he is “inclined tothink about the landscape without the intrusionof man and his continual need to buildsomething; to tear up and rearrange theearth. On the other hand, it’s man’s presencethat sometimes provides the provokingsubject.”Jameson’s work has been featured inone-man and invitational exhibitions fromNew York to California and throughoutthe Southeast. His work is displayed inmuseums and galleries around the region,and in the Art Bank of US Department ofState. Jameson continues to teach paintingworkshops, as he has for over twenty years,throughout the United States, Mexico andEurope.Work by William JamesonJameson’s exhibit runs concurrentlywith From Tree to Treasure: An InternationalInvitational Exhibition of Turnedor Sculpted Wood.

A receptionwill be held on Feb. 16, from 5-8pm.Summerall’s new work is all collage,rather than painting as her previous work,but her themes remain female nudes in adreamy state and animals, often in mythologicalscenes. For her pieces, Summerallhas been collecting unique handmadepapers from all over the world.Work by Jennie SummerallAbout her process, she says “I tear thepaper whenever possible… and feel that ina way I am painting with these papers….It’s an interesting challenge to find paperswhich suggest the texture of whatever I amportraying, particularly in the images ofanimals. Mostly, though, I enjoy the tactileexperience of working with these papers.”It seems in these days of war ravaged Page 38 - Carolina Arts, February 2012 countries, exploded economies and citiesdevastated by natural disasters that ourinstinct is to put things back together. Hereperhaps is one artist working on that in asubtle manner by putting the torn pieces ofspecial papers together in a new and interestingway. The focus on living creatures,human and animal, provides a jumping offpoint for our newly arranged world.Summerall is a Charleston native wholives and works in Massachusetts. She hasbeen painting portraits and other figurativework for twenty-six years. She has shown inSouth Carolina, Massachusetts and Maine.Her paintings hang in a number of privateand institutional collections including herportrait of biologist E. O. Wilson at theSmithsonian’s National Portrait Galleryof Art and of Seamus Heaney at HarvardUniversity.In its seventh year, Corrigan Gallery isthe culmination of 23 years of experiencein the Charleston art market.

Everyso often a nibble comes along, but forsome reason or another a deal never goesthrough. This doesn’t make much senseas her location is smack in the middle ofCharleston’s popular arts district, as wellas historic district. If anyone out therehas always wanted to have a gallery inCharleston - this would be a great opportunity.Liu has had a home waiting for her toretire to in Mérida, Mexico - all this time.She finally left to go there after the AggieZed exhibition, featured on our cover lastmonth, opened at the College of Charleston.Nina Liu & Friends has been offeringAggie Zeds’ works in Charleston for over20 years and she was a major force inmaking Zed’s exhibition - all that it is.Nina Liu & Friends was awarded theElizabeth O’Neill Verner Governor’sAwards for the Arts, the highest honor thestate of South Carolina presents in the artsin 2011. She has been called the “Queenof the Arts” in Charleston. I don’t knowif I’d say Queen as that title should comewith some power, but Liu was definitely aleader - a leader by example.I myself have enjoyed her delay inleaving Charleston as she has been avalued sounding board for me over theyears, but I’m glad she is finally leaving,Currently, Carlson lives on a farm on thecoast of Maine with her husband, Peter andher dogs. She paints in a studio, a recentlyconverted barn.For further information check our SCCommercial Gallery listings, call the galleryat 843/577-5500 or visit(www.dogandhorsefineart.com).but want reader to know - she’ll be back- at least until her building is sold. Unlesssomething happens soon she’ll be back toopen the doors of the gallery in time forthe Spoleto Festival and then maybe backto Mexico for the Summer. My advice is -call ahead.The NumbersWhen I reported on the final numbersof downloads and viewership of the Dec.2011 issue of Carolina Arts on my blogCarolina Arts Unleashed I told readersthat was the last time I was going to commentmuch about those numbers - otherthan giving a total in my commentaryeach month.

FRANK gallery in Chapel Hill,NC, Offers Exhibition Focusedon Human RelationshipsFRANK gallery in Chapel Hill, NC,BODY & SOUL: Birth - Death - Religion- Myth, featuring an exhibit based on theinterpretation and exploration of humanrelationships to birth, death, religion and/or myth by gallery artists, on view throughMar. 4, 2012.Back in September a four-membercommittee brainstormed the ideas for anew exhibit and nervously issued a “call”for submissions to be juried for the BODY& SOUL show subtitled, “Birth - Death- Religion - Myth.” How in the worldwould artists represent such unworldlythemes as soul and myth? The stunningarray of answers arrived in January, asartists carried in work ranging from representationalto abstract, physical to metaphysical,grim to light-hearted. We wereamazed at the variety, interpretations, andmethods of communicating their relationshipto these topics. To add another layerto this viewing experience, many of theartists have provided a statement explainingtheir connection to these topics andhow their work illustrates that.Work by Barbara TyrolerSasha Bakaric, for example states that“cells hold a promise of a human life”with her Embryonic Stem Cells. In thework, Rose Got Pregnant, Lisa Bartellsurprises us by painting, yes, a voluminousrose. Charron Andrews recalls “theawe and wonder I felt when my ownchildren were babies” and created acolorful Madonna and Child out of bottlecaps, costume jewelry, ribbons and otherfound objects, as well as paint. CarolineVaughan’s photograph confronts us witha nude woman during and after chemotherapyfor breast cancer. “I see the wordcourage as interchangeable with spiritual,”Vaughan says.Work by Gordon JamesonOther artists take us toward the metaphysicalrealm. Lolette Guthrie’s geometricpainting, Stand Still in the Light,reminds us that light not only plays a centralrole in the Book of Genesis, Quakerpractice, and the Koran; white light is alsowhat survivors of near-death report havingseen. By contrast, Elaine O’Neil arrangesand sews bright, jagged patches of fabricinto “Joie de Vivre,” capturing “thatsimple, bubbly feeling of wellness, safety,kindness and delight.”There is more, much more, to be seenamong the fifty works on the walls andpedestals. There is also much to be heardat the Thursday-evening Salons presentedduring the run of the exhibition. FRANKThe ARTS Center of Clemson inClemson, SC, is presenting the InauguralMembers Exhibit of The ARTISTS Guild,on view in the center’s main gallery andGallery seeks to reach out to the community.So we invite the public to enjoy lightrefreshments while hearing presentationsby writers, artists or musicians.

These bold and eclectic waresdisplayed a synthesis of Japanese, Chinese,and Islamic influences characteristic of theAesthetic Movement style. The firm owed itsartistic and commercial success to EdwardLycett (1833-1910), an English china painterwho became its artistic director in 1884.For further information check our NCInstitutional Gallery listings, call 704/337-2000 or visit (www.mintmuseum.org).The NC Museum of History in Raleigh,NC, is presenting the exhibit, The Photographyof Lewis Hine: Exposing Child Laborin North Carolina, 1908-1918, on viewthrough Mar. 25, 2012.In the early 1900s, most child workers inNorth Carolina textile mills labored 10 to 12hours, six days a week. They toiled in hot,humid, lint-filled air that triggered respiratorydiseases. They endured the deafeningroar of textile machinery. They risked seriousinjury from dangerous, exposed gearsand belts. They forfeited a childhood.In 1908, the National Child Labor Committeehired photographer Lewis Hine todocument the horrendous working conditionsof young workers across the UnitedStates. That same year, he began visitingNorth Carolina’s textile mills, where abouta quarter of all workers were under age 16.Some were as young as 6.Peering from across a century, many ofthe children look much older than their actualyears. Hine captured the harsh realities oftheir mill village lives in Cabarrus, Gaston,Lincoln, Rowan and other Tar Heel counties.His compelling photographs range from girlsrunning warping machines in Gastonia toboys covered in lint after long hours as doffersand sweepers in a Hickory mill.For further information check our NC InstitutionalGallery listings, call the Museumat 919/807-7900 or visit (www.ncmuseumofhistory.org).The High Museum of Art in Atlanta,GA, will continue its collaboration withThe Museum of Modern Art, New York(MoMA), with the exclusive presentationof the major exhibition, Picasso to Warhol:Fourteen Modern Masters, on view throughApril 29, 2012.This exhibition will present approximately100 works of art created by 14 of themost iconic artists from the 20th century:Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, ConstantinBrancusi, Fernand Léger, Pablo Picasso,Marcel Duchamp, Giorgio de Chirico, JoanMiró, Alexander Calder, Romare Bearden,Louise Bourgeois, Jackson Pollock, AndyWarhol and Jasper Johns.

Showcasing unusualworks by talented potters, it represents thefirst and largest showing of NC pottery inEastern North Carolina.North Carolina’s art pottery traditiontraces its lineage to the 1760s when immigrantpotters, mostly from England andGermany, settled their families in CentralNorth Carolina, known today as the Seagrovearea. Living on remote farms builton rich deposits of clay, the families madepottery for sale and trade. This traditionalceramic ware was used up to the early 20thcentury when a movement known as Artsand Crafts was sweeping the country. Withan eye toward traditional craftsmanship andsimple forms, the potters adopted the movementand began converting their traditionalpottery forms into stylized shapes with anew palette of glazes.For more info check our NC Institutionalgallery listings, call 252/335-0637 or visit(www.museumofthealbemarle.com).Carolina Arts, February 2012 - Page 41

The word “fashion” issynonymous with trends, fads, immediacy anda fleeting exercise of life in the moment. Yet inthe very ebb and flow of fashion’s passing fancy,an accumulation of lives, stories and materialscollects into an ambivalent history. The eclipse ofa once-thriving textile industry in North Carolinaspeaks to the volatility of market-driven fashion/s,spurring new, regenerative practices from mountainsto the coast. Rather than keeping up withthe latest fashions (and their continuing demandsof consumerism, turnover and excess) there is amovement amongst local artists and designersthat turns instead to refuge, time and duration.Their work derives out of fashion, but is outsidefashion’s perpetual amnesia. Beyond the runway,this exhibition mines the histories of fashion asvessels of time, nature, and memory. The exhibitwas organized by SECCA and curated by StevenMatijcio. Hours: Tue.-Sat., 10am-5pm, Thur. till8pm; Sun., 1-5 pm, and closed Mon. & state holidays. Admission is free.
