Museum debuts exhibit by Durham artist<\/p>\n

BY SAM CLARK<\/p>\n

Staff Writer<\/p>\n

SNOW HILL\u2014The Greene County Museum held an opening reception Thursday for its new exhibit, \u201cThe Great Awakening: Out of Darkness,\u201d that features the work of Durham artist Alyssa Hinton.<\/p>\n

Hinton\u2019s mixed media pieces use vibrant colors and natural imagery to convey a theme of cultural transformation that harkens back to her Native American heritage. She has won multiple awards ranging from the highly coveted Mid-Atlantic\/NEA Regional Painting Fellowship to an Art for Indigenous Survival grant through the U.N. Life Bridge Foundation and has been featured on television and in various publications, including Native Peoples Magazine, Aboriginal Voices Magazine and Random House\u2019s Official Price Guide to Native American Art.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what\u2019s unique about this (exhibit) is the artist\u2019s background,\u201d said Kay Barrow, a member of the museum\u2019s board of directors. \u201cShe has brought in her ties with Tuscarora and Osage Native Americans into the subject matter for a lot of these.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact it was Hinton\u2019s Tuscarora heritage that first got her connected with the Greene County Museum, according to Sharon Ginn, the director of the Greene County Museum.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe came for the Nooherooka 300 exhibit last year because she has some Tuscarora ancestry. She brought some of her work at the time and said if we were interested she would like to show with us,\u201d Ginn said, adding she was very pleased to be able to display Hinton\u2019s work because of its unique medium and subject matter. \u201cThis work is very unique \u2014 we\u2019ve not had an exhibit with this kind of artist before so we\u2019re very pleased to be able to branch out and find other medias and other forms of art.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edward Morgan, another member of the museum board, who attended Thursday\u2019s reception, was happy to see Greene County host another talented artist, despite being unfamiliar with her style of work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not that strong in abstract art, but the exhibit is very good \u2014 I see some very good things,\u201d Morgan said. \u201cGreene County needs some artists to come in, all kinds really. I think it\u2019s very good that we could get her, we need all the culture we can get.\u201d<\/p>\n

The landscape of collage artwork has been changing over the years as digital art has become more and more prevalent, Barrow explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt used to be, when collage first started, they were making them out of anything they could find,\u201d Barrow said. \u201cActual cloth or cigar wrappers, photographs, stuff like that. Now a lot of it is digital.\u201d<\/p>\n

This growing style of expression is unique and represents another step in the evolution of visual art, Barrow added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think her works are very interesting and eye-catching,\u201d she said. \u201cI think a lot of people don\u2019t realize what digital media can be. In some ways it\u2019s just like photography \u2014 at one point it was used only as a way of recording history, but eventually it became an art form in and of itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exhibit runs through Dec. 31. The Greene County Museum, 107 N.W. Third St., Snow Hill, is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, call 252-747-1999.<\/p>\n
