A public reception will be held for the exhibition of mixed media work by Lincoln artist Camille Hawbaker entitled “Unraveling” on November 16, 2015 from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. in the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery on the University of Nebraska’s East Campus. The reception is free and open to the public. Ms. Hawbaker’s “Unraveling” exhibition received a very positive review in the Journal Star by L. Kent Wolgamott claiming "Unraveling" is, simply, one of the best Lincoln exhibitions of 2014. Read L. Kent Walgamott’s review at http://go.unl.edu/ikj8.
Camille Hawbaker is a visiting faculty member in the Department of Textiles, Merchandising & Fashion Design for the 2014-15 Academic Year. Ms. Hawbaker earned her M.F.A. in 2014 from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s distinguished printmaking program, under the direction of Karen Kunc and Francisco Souto. Hawbaker combines her knowledge of etching, drawing, and textile design techniques to create dynamic and meditative works in paper and fiber. Through expressive line work in thread and ink, she builds a vocabulary of organic forms which speak of the duality between structure and chaos, creation and destruction, intuition and deduction—resulting in what the artist describes as “reflections of inherent principles of design governed by natural growth.”
The gallery is located on the second floor of the Home Economics Building on East Campus, at 35th Street north of East Campus Loop (map at http://go.unl.edu/j5v). Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. Admission is free. Guest parking is available near the building and metered stalls are located in the Nebraska East Union lot.
