Glass Gallery at Appalachian State University. A reception will
be held Tuesday, Feb. 10, from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Looking Glass

Works in this show are composed of gelatin silver photographic
media created by students in the fall semester Photographic
Design II class taught by Kathleen Campbell. The class focused
on the global food crisis, particularly how it has affected
Watauga Country and North Carolina. Students researched the
issue, and then interviewed and photographed people at local
agencies and other venues dealing with or related to food and
hunger issues. They were assisted by Beth Davison and Tom
Hansell from University Documentary Services.
Students whose work is featured in the exhibit are Brian Baker,
Emily Combs, Alison Croft, Ronnie Hamline, Bernie Hendricks,
Shannon Hunter, Jessie Jellicourse, Matt Kiefer, Lauren Jonas,
David Lezette, Derek Misler, Ryan Naylor, Whitney O’Regan,
Tonia Perkins, Amanda Rodriguez, Ryan Simpson and Brandon Thompson.
The exhibit was juried by Kathleen Campbell, professor of art,
Jody Servon, assistant professor of art and curator of Catherine
Smith Gallery, Beth Davison, associate professor of sociology
and co-director of University Documentary Services, and Tom
Hansell, co-director of University Documentary Services.
