Visit the Library to see the new exhibit "The Curse of Salt," a series of paintings
by Division of Liberal Arts Dean Rachel Williams.
The exhibit features 12 paintings based on creative research about salt intrusion
in Eastern North Carolina, specifically in the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.
The paintings are based on photographs, ephemera and observations collected in the
field by the author.
This series weaves together personal observations with a short, narrated history of
Buffalo City, ghost forests, highway 64, and the eastern North Carolina region with
imagery to create a testimonial about the consequences of human actions and the Anthropocene
on the coast, forests, and rivers of Eastern North Carolina. The images include layers
of collage, aqueous media, and oil on wood panels.
The exhibit is on view in the Library's 2nd floor gallery through May 31, with an opening reception on April 3 from 5-7 p.m.
