GAINESVILLE - Gainesville State College’s Roy C. Moore Art Gallery presents Imminent Overgrowth, an installation by Heather Deyling, November 1 -28.
Imminent Overgrowth features paintings, drawings, and site specific sculptures inspired by the forms kudzu takes as it crawls over objects in the South, consuming objects along its path.
To create her installations, Deyling transfers organic forms from her paintings and drawings onto felt, and then cuts out the shapes, and dyes them. Joining the forms together, the felt works create “an immersive environment of mysterious, colorful mutations.”
Deyling earned an MFA in Painting from Tyler School of Art in 2000, and a BFA in Painting/Printmaking from Kent State in 1997. She has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions across the United States, including Philadelphia, Penn., Richmond, Va., Los Angeles, Calif. and Hilo, Hawaii.
Recently, Deyling had solo exhibitions at Gallery SPACE in Savannah, GA and the Cochenour Gallery at Georgetown College in Georgetown, KY. She is currently on the faculty at Savannah College of Art and Design.
There will be a closing reception and artist talk on November 28, at 12:00 p.m. The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public.
The art gallery is open Monday through Wednesday, from 10:00-4:00, and on Thursday from 10:00-7:00. For more information, contact gallery@gsc.edu, or call 678-717-3707.
