Lynne Hudson, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Holly Hill\u2019s interdisciplinary practice spans sculpture, textiles, ceramics and digital drawing, using repetition and material process to explore how lived experience, memory and care accumulate across surfaces. Each of her <em>Herms<\/em> sculptural figures \u201ccontains its own archive of materials, threads, prints, fabric fragments, paper, wire and glass, each chosen for its tactile memory and emotional resonance,\u201d Hill says. \u201cThese figures echo the domestic and the handmade while pushing into the space of contemporary sculpture. They carry traces of touch and time, insisting on the visibility of women\u2019s work and the value of care as artistic practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hill says her work grows out of two connected parts of her practice. \u201cOne is a series of sculptural \u2018women totems\u2019 built from layers of textiles, paper and found materials,\u201d she says. \u201cThe other is a group of digital drawings that explore garment patterns, gender codes and the way women\u2019s bodies are shaped and viewed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lynne Hudson is interested in creating work on the edge of what can and cannot be controlled, like living in a state of grief, and using mediums such as handmade paper, sheer organza, photographs recording the ephemeral and cast paper from hurricane debris.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_90541\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-90541\" class=\"wp-image-90541\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bardo-Seigfried_Arentyoujustprecious_detail-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-90541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aren\u2019t you just precious. Reese Seigfried, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Through sculpture, video and installation, Remi Roce explores how identity, culture, place and home are understood differently by each individual. He has exhibited works throughout the US and Canada and in Beijing, China and has upcoming residences in Sweden and Norway.<\/p>\n<p>Originally from eastern Kentucky, Brooklin Routt is a photography and ceramic-based artist whose installations hold space for conversations about Appalachia. \u201cWhen electricity started to come to the area, it began to connect the hollers of Appalachia with the rest of the world,\u201d Routt says. \u201cThe rest of the world perceived Appalachian people as feral or uneducated, making it easier for corporations to exploit its people and resources by dehumanizing the area. Even through this exploitation and the hardships it brought, Appalachian culture and the people upholding this culture persevered. I hope to highlight the deep roots the people of Appalachia have to this place and why we have to be so resilient and resourceful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Using themes from carnivals and amusement parks, Reese Seigfried\u2019s clay-based sculptures of animals primarily native to Appalachia help tell deeper stories of humanity and trauma.<\/p>\n<p><em>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/arts.wcu.edu\/mfa-26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arts.wcu.edu\/mfa-26<\/a> for more about the Master of Fine Art (MFA) Thesis Exhibition 2026 and reception.
