I hope everyone within reach can go to Lincolnton and view the Wootten photos. They are lush and moving. I went with my daughter and learned so much from her. We studied the same images and saw such different things.
The contemporary work from Mexico was very personal. Many works exposed souls! There are about 20 emerging artists and maybe 6-8 established artists represented. I studied the work first- then went to the lecture and learned the stories. The Turchin Center at Appalachian State is great. It is housed in the church I attended while in college. It felt appropriate that this work was in the former sanctuary.
Sanctuary: a place of refuge.
Nice.
NOTE: When I was in Lincolnton, there were mutterings of closings on Mondays. I'd call ahead or go another day.
