Don’t forget to check out Annie B. Campbell’s solo exhibition “Extracted” in Goodwyn Gallery! The exhibit will be on display until March 23 and was featured at this year’s Southern Studies Conference.
With a focus in ceramics, Campbell’s works range from wall mounted to installations to freestanding pieces. The pieces represent the natural environment as she addresses the effects of extraction of fossil fuels and forestry.
“My work investigates environmental destruction and our relationship to its effects, both physical and psychological,” Campbell states on her gallery webpage. “My aim is to simultaneously exemplify the innate connection between humans and the earth, and lay bare that we are unwittingly conducting ourselves toward our own demise.”
Campbell is an Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at Auburn University. She holds a B.F.A. in ceramics from Virginia Commonwealth University and an M.F.A. in studio ceramics from Indiana University-Bloomington. Campbell’s work has been featured at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts & Sciences in Georgia, Studio 550 in New Hampshire, and at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Aberdeenshire.
