Curated by Kyle Houser, Executive Director of the Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media, “New Appalachia” brings together artists surrounding Appalachia and beyond. The exhibition opens April 30 at Vestige Concept Gallery in Pittsburgh.
Professor Kristen Letts Kovak shows her work “Seafarers and Mystics” from her series “Monstrous Sentiments” in the exhibition. Inspired by Gothic fiction, her images are reflections on the progression of these stories from ignorance, to terror, to hope, ultimately arriving at an exhausted state of wisdom and humility.
