The nationally sponsored Fall of Freedom is “an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping the nation.” Kara Hammond Open Studio and Gallery Vitrine are participating through showcasing the work of local artists responding to our national crisis. November 21 was an evening of spoken word, song, and visual art in which participating artists shared their work with an engaged community. We will continue to meet the moment with our talent, our activism, and our art.
Keeping the Faith.
Some of the amazing work from our generous art community. Thanks everyone for sharing your light.
The windows will be on display at 629 N. Trade St., WSNC, through the end of November.
On view Saturday, November 15 at the ‘Round The Bend Market, 1001 Marshall Street, WSNC.
Drawing with chemicals, light, and time. These are on paper, with ink drawing overlaid.
Several are on panels prepared with true gesso, which gives the work a lighter palette, but a very smooth, durable surface.
Foliage and vintage textiles form the basis for elaboration.

Combining natural materials with silhouetted forms and layering them with handmade inks, creating a sort of light collage. Playing here with the crochet handiwork of vintage doilies and found objects overlaying inked garden webs. The grounds I am working with on these are either natural paper or true gesso on wood panel. I am enjoying the painterliness of this early photographic process, keeping the incidental spray and drips. From there they take on the layering of collage but with a continuous surface of a photograph or drawing.
