“Monuments”, Pappas, 2019\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cAre We There Yet?\u201d is the first show of the new decade in the Northern Essex Community College<\/a> Linda Hummel-Shea ArtSpace. It was created by Dianne Pappas, an NECC adjunct art & design faculty member.<\/p>\n

The exhibit opens on Wednesday, January 22, 2020, and runs through February 28. An opening reception and artist talk will be held Thursday, February 6, from 3 to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

The ArtSpace is located in the Harold Bentley Library on the Haverhill campus, 100 Elliott St. It is free and open to the public during library hours \u2013 Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A reception and artist talk will be held Thursday, February 6, from 3 to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

Pappas has worked in the Linda Hummel-Shea Gallery since the beginning of January creating this unique and original installation within the space. She uses the signature materials of much of her previous works, including plaster, cement, corrugated metal, plastic, and twine, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis work references monumental structures, (here) on a more intimate scale,\u201d said Pappas.<\/p>\n

Experiencing this installation in the ArtSpace Gallery focuses the viewer, said Pappas, \u201c\u2026on the dismissed and imperfect, valuing the unpretentious and pushing the perception and capabilities of materials.\u201d<\/p>\n
