Student Union gallery to feature local artist Pam Winegard

Tuesday, January 8, 2013

The exhibit “Archetypal Dysfunction,” featuring works by local artist Pam Winegard, will open Wednesday, Jan. 16, in the Student Union Art Gallery. An opening reception is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 23.

“Archetypal Dysfunction” focuses on creating a visual conversation about community identity. According to Winegard, the body of work “reflects the ambiguity of time and place” while “emphasizing how we manipulate our environment and the people living in (it).”

Winegard’s work was exhibited at UNC Charlotte in spring 2011; her solo show “Neighbors” was in the Student Union Art Gallery. Senior communications major and gallery coordinator

Brittany Bryant, a senior communications major and gallery coordinator, said she is pleased to feature Winegard’s work again.“‘Archetypal Dysfunction’ showcases a body of work that challenges viewers to journey through their own experiences with community identity. I would highly encourage the University community to visit the gallery and experience all that Pam’s work has to offer.”

An encaustic artist and art educator, Winegard received an MFA in art and design from Winthrop University in 2011. A summer 2012 affiliate artist-in-residence at the McColl Center for Visual Art, Winegard attended a four-week residency at the Vermont Studio Center during fall 2012. She currently teaches at Wingate University.

“Archetypal Dysfunction” will run through Tuesday, Feb. 5.
