ARTIST STATEMENT:

There are millennia of organic life hidden in stone, exposed by enduring winds. Breathtaking sites of water-carved landscapes. Masterworks of ancient cultures that perpetually draw our attention, despite nature’s persistent effects on them. If wonder is produced from nature’s imposition, can it be so in our own lives?

My sculptural works contemplate the fragility and beauty found in the contemporary human experience. These figures begin with a 3D scan of someone who embodies the concepts contained within the image, which serves as a working model for the gesture of each piece. From this model, I laminate numerous blocks

of wood, containing negative spaces and fragmented pieces. Through traditional wood-carving processes, these structures are laboriously formed into life-size figures, and geometric voids are revealed. The subtractive process of carving alludes to the ongoing weathering that slowly shapes our lives. The seemingly digital voids reflect the fragility within the figure, evoking new sentiments about the deeper internal states we experience.

Often inspired by meaningful artworks in history, I consider narrative, symbolism, power structures, and the cultural significance of sculptures in the ancient world that continue to impact us. Researching the origins of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, who remains a persistent symbol of hope despite her fractured appearance, led to “A Whisper Over the Waters” (2020). This fractured figure was a response to the necessary reminder of hope amidst the global trauma we shared during the recent pandemic. “Deep Haven” (2022) was produced after exploring the various depictions of King David. It was Michelangelo’s David, in his graceful power but weather-beaten shoulders, that spoke to the beauty of the human experience. This led me to sculpt David, not as warrior king, but as dancer and psalmist. The one who presented us through the Hebrew scriptures with a beautiful, painful, and dynamic perspective of life. There are many storms around us, societally and internally. My work explores how these storms connect us and asks how we might find wonder as we step through them. What wonders might await us?

There are millennia of organic life hidden in stone, exposed by enduring winds. Breathtaking sites of water-carved landscapes. Masterworks of ancient cultures that perpetually draw our attention, despite nature’s persistent effects on them. If wonder is produced from nature’s imposition, can it be so in our own lives?

My sculptural works contemplate the fragility and beauty found in the contemporary human experience. These figures begin with a 3D scan of someone who embodies the concepts contained within the image, which serves as a working model for the gesture of each piece. From this model, I laminate numerous blocks

of wood, containing negative spaces and fragmented pieces. Through traditional wood-carving processes, these structures are laboriously formed into life-size figures, and geometric voids are revealed. The subtractive process of carving alludes to the ongoing weathering that slowly shapes our lives. The seemingly digital voids reflect the fragility within the figure, evoking new sentiments about the deeper internal states we experience.

Often inspired by meaningful artworks in history, I consider narrative, symbolism, power structures, and the cultural significance of sculptures in the ancient world that continue to impact us. Researching the origins of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, who remains a persistent symbol of hope despite her fractured appearance, led to “A Whisper Over the Waters” (2020). This fractured figure was a response to the necessary reminder of hope amidst the global trauma we shared during the recent pandemic. “Deep Haven” (2022) was produced after exploring the various depictions of King David. It was Michelangelo’s David, in his graceful power but weather-beaten shoulders, that spoke to the beauty of the human experience. This led me to sculpt David, not as warrior king, but as dancer and psalmist. The one who presented us through the Hebrew scriptures with a beautiful, painful, and dynamic perspective of life. There are many storms around us, societally and internally. My work explores how these storms connect us and asks how we might find wonder as we step through them. What wonders might await us?

Posters are one of the most universal forms of design. Found in streets, classrooms, protests, theaters, and now digital spaces, they communicate quickly and powerfully, often across language, culture, and borders. Designed for public view, posters rely on image, typography, and symbolism to make ideas visible and values legible.
This exhibition brings together posters from around the world that demonstrate how designers use visual communication to respond to their communities and the challenges of their time. Seen together, these works reveal the enduring power of posters as tools for storytelling, connection, and change. They remind us that design remains one of the most effective ways to engage the public and shape shared futures.

In this exhibit you may:

Examine how posters combine image, typography, and scale to communicate ideas quickly and powerfullyExplore how designers respond to cultural moments, political movements, environmental concerns, and community celebrationsTalk about the role of posters in public space—from protest and performance to festivals, social campaigns, and civic lifeReflect on the power of design to influence public opinion, build solidarity, and make complex issues visibleConsider how posters continue to evolve in digital spaces while remaining rooted in the tradition of public communication

Found in streets, classrooms, protests, theaters, and now digital spaces, they communicate quickly and powerfully, often across language, culture, and borders. Designed for public view, posters rely on image, typography, and symbolism to make ideas visible and values legible.
This exhibition brings together posters from around the world that demonstrate how designers use visual communication to respond to their communities and the challenges of their time. Seen together, these works reveal the enduring power of posters as tools for storytelling, connection, and change. They remind us that design remains one of the most effective ways to engage the public and shape shared futures.

In this exhibit you may:

Examine how posters combine image, typography, and scale to communicate ideas quickly and powerfullyExplore how designers respond to cultural moments, political movements, environmental concerns, and community celebrationsTalk about the role of posters in public space—from protest and performance to festivals, social campaigns, and civic lifeReflect on the power of design to influence public opinion, build solidarity, and make complex issues visibleConsider how posters continue to evolve in digital spaces while remaining rooted in the tradition of public communication

Matthew Monk is a visual artist, graphic designer, and educator in Winston-Salem, NC, who exhibits collage and mixed-media works extensively. His work is in collections across the US and abroad. Monk is on the faculty in the MFA in Graphic Design program at Vermont College of Fine Arts, where he served as Academic Dean from 2012 through 2024. H,e previously taught for twenty years at Rhode Island School of Design in the graphic design department. Monk's book design practice has earned numerous awards for clients including The National Gallery of Art, Yale University Press, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Metropolis Books, The Museum of Art at Rhode Island School of Design, and Wellesley College, among others.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

In my collage/mixed media work, the purity of ideas collides with the impurity of the physical world. I am influenced by all things decayed, worn, eroded, weathered, murky, humble, and imperfect – particularly as they engage in dialogue with order, clarity, structure, systems, rationality, and logic. I work primarily with discarded and found materials, seeking to uncover meaning in the meaningless and value in the worthless. My work is the result of cumulative layers of additive and subtractive processes, including painting, gluing, scraping, sanding, tearing, erasing, correcting, and patching. A rich and complex history of each piece is rendered evident through the accretion of these unexpected materials and varied processes.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

In my collage/mixed media work, the purity of ideas collides with the impurity of the physical world. I am influenced by all things decayed, worn, eroded, weathered, murky, humble, and imperfect – particularly as they engage in dialogue with order, clarity, structure, systems, rationality, and logic. I work primarily with discarded and found materials, seeking to uncover meaning in the meaningless and value in the worthless. My work is the result of cumulative layers of additive and subtractive processes, including painting, gluing, scraping, sanding, tearing, erasing, correcting, and patching. A rich and complex history of each piece is rendered evident through the accretion of these unexpected materials and varied processes.

A staple of the academic experience for Art and Design students at YHC, the Annual Student Juried Art + Design Exhibition allows students to submit their art and design work to be juried by a professional artist. An independent guest juror will choose select pieces that make the final exhibition. Accepted students gain professional experience by learning how to navigate the "call for entries" process, prepare works for professional gallery display, and add the juried show to their artistic resumes.

The Annual Student Juried Art + Design Exhibition showcases, awards, and celebrates all creative achievements of the art and graphic design major and minor students as well as non-majors who have taken an art course at Young Harris College. The juried exhibition offers six categories for submission: Drawing, Painting, Mixed Media/ Printmaking, Graphic Design/Illustration, Photography/Video, and 3D Sculpture/ Ceramics/Installation. A third-party juror awards first, second, and third place and Honorable Mention in each category along with the overall “Best of Show” award. Other awards include the President’s Award, Beauty Can Change the World Award sponsored by YHC Religious Life and the YHC Art Department Awards which include the Richard Aunspaugh and the Birdie Bryan Miller Art Awards, and the Innovative Design Award.
