The inaugural exhibition at ETSU’s new Tipton-Ashe Gallery at 401 Ashe Street in Johnson City opens with a reception on Friday, September 5 from 6-8pm. Curated by Lyn Govette, Layered, Woven, and Pierced: The Appalachian Soul One Year On, considers the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene last fall through the work of more than twenty regional artists. My photograph in this show, first exhibited last winter at Tracey Morgan Gallery in a group exhibition about the hurricane called Postdiluvian, depicts the tragic destruction along the Nolichucky River in Erwin, Tennessee. The Impact Plastics factory nearby was destroyed, and the lives of six employees were lost to the floodwaters during the storm on September 27, 2024. I appreciate the opportunity to participate with another group of artists in reflecting on trauma and resilience in our community. The exhibition will be on view through October 18.
