Alyssa Hinton Earth Consciousness and Cultural Revelations

Retrospective of artwork and ideas by mixed media artist Alyssa Hinton exploring her Tuscarora (Eastern North Carolina) and Osage (Missouri/Kansas) heritage. Her hybrid works reflecting her multiracial background include assemblage, patchwork quilting, fiber appliqué, painting, drawing, block prints, photo-to-collage, and digital composite combining hand-rendered art and digital tools. The subject matter includes themes of totems, cosmology, preservation of the natural environment, geometric design, medicine wheels, abstract landscape, and native american spiritual journeying. The retrospective exhibition is at C.X. Silver Gallery March to June 2017 accompanied by the book launch.
